    Only a minor part (12.3%) of the dysplastic lesions showed progression during pregnancy, with 54.6 and 33.1% showing persistence and regression, respectively. No surgically related postoperative bleeding that needed surgical (diathermy/suture) treatment occurred and the miscarriage rate was low (0.8...
