I would really appreciate hearing from
anyone with views on this subject.
For the past 5 years, I have been having
abnormal pap smears, it all started
showing hpv and low grade abnormalilties,
until 18months ago, when the cin2 first
showed up. I have been having 6 monthly
colposcopy visits, where the doctors
normally take another pap smear, and
sometimes a little biopsy too. These
always show the same progression of the
diease. The doctors normally say that my
cervix looks very normal and healthy,
until lat year when the first cin2 showed
up, they could see a nodule on the cervix.
At this point, they did a loop excision
procedure. The pathology results this
time, however, showed inflammation only,
so we thought I was fixed!
At the next colp test, 6 months later
however, the pap smear again showed the
cin2, and it all looked healthy down
there.
More cin2, so this time, they elected to
do a cone biopsy and curetting as this
time at colp, they stained my cervix for
the first time and could see changes going
up into the neck of the cervix (doctor
specifically said it didn't look sinister,
just abnormal) the results of the cone
biopsy are in, and again it is showing
inflammation only.
Where on earth does the cin2 go? The
nurse tells me that maybe the pathologists
are overcalling my smear samples - that
they see something they are calling cin2,
but which isn't really. I now have to
wait 6 months befoe I even get to talk to
the doctor to get his opinions, and in the
meantime, i'm left wondering if I have
ever really had a problem or not.
Has anyone had similar experiences? And
if so, what was the outcome? Does anyone
know of any natural remedies or
preparations (?Vitamin supplements??) that
can be of use in these cases?
Please help if you can, i'm very confused!
