80% of mild dysplasia will clear (but can return) within 1-2 years
without therapy but MUST be watched carefully for progression. The
smoking is a severe complicating risk factor when combined with
dysplasia and HPV.
Hope this helps and write back anytime for more information.

Well I also have HPV, I am 20, have one child, and I smoke. I guess my question is, why do I have to have Cryotherapy, if Mild Dysplasia is supposed to go away on its own?
