    There is usually no definite time for how long atypical squamous cells will turn into cancer. It usually has a certain relationship with the individual's physical condition and external factors, such as frequent local friction and irritation. Generally, it usually takes about 5 to 10 years after the disease to become malignant.

    Atypical squamous cells are usually caused by cell mutation caused by inflammation of the cervix. They are precancerous lesions and usually have cell changes in squamous epithelial lesions. Most are classified into mild, moderate and severe. Mild cases have a 60% chance of being reversed, while moderate to severe cases mostly have precancerous lesions.

    It is also necessary to go to a regular hospital for pathological diagnosis of local diseased tissue through TCT combined with HPV testing.
