Precancerous cells can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
- HPV infection: High-risk strains of HPV are a major cause of cervical dysplasia. - Genetic mutations: Changes in certain genes can predispose individuals to developing abnormal cells. - Chronic inflammation: Long-term inflammation in the reproductive organs can lead to cellular changes. - Hormonal imbalances: Conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can increase the risk of endometrial hyperplasia.
