How could I have a normal Pap one week before being diagnosed with Cervical Dysplasia?

CSR1983 - Thank you for sharing your situation and seeking information to support your health.

First, it's hard to know why your pap test didn't pick up the cervical dysplasia, it should have.

While most cases of cervical dysplasia and cervical cancer involve HPV, it is not the only cause. The following have been shown to increase a woman's risk of cervical cancer.
* Becoming sexually active before age 18
* Giving birth before age 16
* Having multiple sexual partners
* Having other illnesses or using medications that suppress your immune system
* Smoking

In terms of a possible relationship between Depo Provera and cervical dysplasia, please see the following thread: https://www.empowher.com/community/ask/can-depo-provera-shot-cause-cervical-dysplasia

Cervical cancer is a slow-growing and highly treatable cancer. It can take 10 years or longer for cervical dysplasia to develop into cancer. As long as you have regular check ups and medical care, you can be on top of your risk for this cancer.

Please let me know if I can help further.
