Abstract
The management of women with minor cytological abnormalities is a contentious issue. The UK cervical screening guidelines recommend a policy of cytological surveillance after one smear showing mild dyskaryosis and a referral for colposcopy only if the smear abnormality persists. But, there have been calls from various groups to change this in favour of immediate coloposcopy. In this article, we address this increasing problem and discuss the pros and cons of each management policy.
