LEEP Procedure
Has anyone ever had LEEP Procedure done after your pap and colposcopy come back abnormal? I was just told that I need to have one done and I'm a bit concerned. If anyone has some more details, I would greatly appreciate it.
Re: LEEP Procedure
I had one done about 3 years ago and it's no big. When you go in your on the table just like you would be for a PAP and they freeze you a little bit. It takes like 15 minutes if that and afterward when the freezing wore off I was sore enough to need some tylenol and I had a little spotting but they tell you that's to be expected. The next day I was just fine.
I had one done about 4 years ago and was really freaked out about it all too. Looking back on it, I can honestly say that I made it out to be more than it really was. It really wasn't painful, was over pretty quick, and I just had some spotting throughout the day. I was back at work the next day. I think they had me come in for a PAP six months later.
Good luck to you and try not to worry about it too much. My PAP's have been normal ever since, and are back to a yearly basis.
Thanks guys
I do not know anyone who has personally had it done, so you helped ease my mind a bit. I think it does sound a lot worse than what it is!
Much appreciated!
This is a way different response than you are probably looking for, but...
I had an abnormal pap smear about 10 years ago. The OBGYN called me back in for a biopsy which revealed pre-cancerous cells. We discussed treatment, but then a week later, I lost my job and was out of work without insurance for 8 months or so. When I went back to the doctor, my pre-cancerous cells were "gone". I have never had them since.
