Q: Leep Procedure
asked by: becca262004 on October 12th, 2005

I am schedule to have leep procedure done on the 4th of nov. I will also be put to sleep to have it done because my cervix is hard to get to and the dr said he needs to be able to work with my body and get it to do what he needs it to do and if I were awake it would be very painful. I am 28 years old and have 1 child but I also want at least one more. I am just really worried and stressed right now. Could someone please tell me what to expect during and after procedure? What about infertility possibilities? Thanks so much!!!

Leep
Im 27 and I had the leep done last august. I was worried also, but surprised afterward becaused there was very little pain. I have no children and my Dr. Reassured me that it would have no affect on the possiblity for children in the future. They had a video for me to watch explaining the procedure also. I was a little sore, but nothing horrible, I thought the biopsy was more painful then the leep. I hope that this helps a little, and that all goes well!

I also had the leep procedure and I agree too that the biopsy was worse. I had the leep done after I got a 2nd opinion from a doctor in boston. The original doctor I saw at the local hospital in my town, wanted me to have some procedure called a cone biopsy (it's where they remove a cone shaped chunk of the cervix - gross sounding I know!) anyway when I went for a 2nd opinion, the boston doctor said she would never perform the cone biopsy procedure on a girl my age (i was 27 at the time) b/c it would be difficult to conceive. She said the leep procedure is the least invasive - she described it to me at taking a string and running it over the top of a frosted cake, they are only removing cervical cells (the frosting) not any of the cervix (the cake). I hope this helps and good luck!
