Medical Conditions - Squamous Intraepithelial Lesion

A squamous intraepithelial lesion (SIL) refers to an abnormality in the squamous cells lining the surface of the cervix. It is commonly detected during a Pap smear or cervical screening. SIL is classified as either low-grade or high-grade, indicating the level of abnormality and the potential for progression to cervical cancer. Regular monitoring and appropriate medical interventions are crucial in managing SIL and preventing complications.
