Current medical opinion is that the great majority of cancers of the cervix develop from pre-cancerous changes in the cells. These pre-cancerous changes are easily detected by the cervical smear test.
 
When pre-cancerous changes are seen under the microscope they can be graded into one of three levels of abnormality: CIN 1, CIN 2 or CIN 3 (the initials CIN stand for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia).
 
The abnormalities in CIN 1 are quite minor and will often disappear with time with no treatment. The risk of a cancerous change is considered to be very small and so for this reason the usual advice will simply be to have the smear repeated in six months. If CIN 1 changes are still present at that time then further treatment may be advised.

CIN2 and CIN 3 show more obvious abnormalities in the cells and doctors believe that most people with these more advanced pre-cancerous changes will go on to develop cervical cancer if they are not treated.

The treatments available for pre-cancerous changes on the cervix are very simple. They can usually be done as an out-patient and involve very little discomfort. They are also very effective.

Unfortunately there is no evidence that visualisation, or other complementary therapies, can get rid of the pre-cancerous cells and the right advice would be for you to go-ahead with conventional treatment to avoid the risk of a cancer developing.
