I'd definitely tell them. My parents drilled the idea into me that lying by omission is just as bad as any other kind of lie. The kid needs to know, and I know I'd be pissed enough to never speak to my parents again if they'd not told me about something like that. If they told me, I don't think it would even matter. But not telling me? Oh fuck no..
I'm not sure I can see how telling them would be harmful at all. It's in the past and now they're more informed. Where's the harm? The harm comes in NOT telling them and letting them find problems like the cervix problem above. And THEN finding out that you lied for their entire life.
