I was told by my doctor last year that I
had mild dysplasia. I completed the
colposcopy and then the cryo treatment to
freeze off the abnormal cells. My follow
up pap exams were normal after the
treatment, but now (a year later) I have
been told that I have mild dysplasia AGAIN
and this time it is inside the cervical
canal, meaning that I need to have the
LEEP surgery. I only have one sex partner
and I had the Gardasil HPV shots, so I
don't know why I am still getting
dysplasia. Any suggestions?
I am also really scared of having this
surgery, (the freezing treatment was bad
enough, causing several weeks of smelly,
watery discharge afterwards), and I am
wondering if anyone could give me an idea
of what the LEEP procedure is like. I now
that they numb the cervix and burn off a
sample of tissue. This sounds horrible.
Even if I have the surgery, will I still
continue to get dysplasia? I don't want to
have to keep going through these
treatments every year if they're not going
to get rid of the cells.
