Well, a leep is less invasive, but you're right it could come back. I work for an ob/gyn and do not recall anyone having a repeat procedure. Usually after a leep you would need to have a repeat pap every 4-6 months to moniter the area for at least a year.

I guess for a definitive answer, a hysterectomy may be the right choice for you since you are done having children. Now they can be done laproscopically with a lot less pain and shorter recovery time, about 1-2 weeks.

Best of luck, I know it's not an easy decision!

Definately just have the leep. And after a leep you have to have a pap every three months for the next two years to make sure everything is okay.
Yes, the abnormal cells can return, but abnormal cells aren't cancer. Yes, they are pre-cancerous cells, with a leep (or the other two options to remove abnormal cells) they can remove them and it is highly likely that it wont return.
If you get a hysterectomy you then have to deal with all of the terrible side effects of that! That is a very, very drastic move and honestly it would be hard for you to find a doctor to do it just because of an abnormal pap. If it is cancer, even then it is cervical cancer, not ovarian or uteran so a hysterectomy still wouldn't be a suggestion option unless cancer had spread to those areas.
Just relax and wait for your results. A leep is an in office procedure with minimal side effects and there is a great chance your abnormal cells wont come back. A hysterectomy is very drastic and unnecessary.

Hysterectomy is major surgury and should never be taken lightly. A hysterectomy should be a final resort answer not a choice.
I had to have an emergency hysterectomy last year and I had great recovery but I say if you can avoid it then do.

I would like to thank everyone for their advice and for taking time to reply it is greatly appreciated...I guess I have to just wait and see what the doctor says. Its just that I watched my father die from cancer and my mother died when I was only 19 (i am 38 now) so I don't want to take any chances. It scares me to death to think that my children would grow up without a mother. Oh well I will find out tomorrow...Like I said thank you for your replys. :lol: :d
