Atyipcal Cells Found On Pap Posted: 01-29-06 18:40pm
I go to my gyn every last, last visit was
sept. And everything was fine. I went in
a few weeks ago b/c i'm pregnant and she
did a pap along with blood work.
She told my she found atypical
precancerous cells. Has anyone had this
before?!?!?! Please tell me what happened
to you, if you have.
I did lots of research about this and
found out that 70% of women get this.
These cells can show up during puberty or
first pregnancy (it's my first preg.). I
go for a coloscopy feb. 9th - I hope to
g-d that everything will come out
negative!
I know i'm supposed to be so excited to be
pregnant, which I am, but this other stuff
has taken over my mind. Any advice from
anyone?!?!?
Thank you!!!

My mom just had this a few months ago.
She is in her 50's but her pap had the
same atypical precancerous cells. They
did a colposcopy and took a small biopsy
of the tissue. She then went back and
they did cryocauterization which is a
procedure where the areas with the
atypical cells are frozen and killed.
She goes back in a couple of months for
another pap to be sure the
cryocauterization did its job. She was
very scared and nervous too. A lady that
I work with also had this done and has not
had any abnormal paps since and it has
been several years. Believe it or not,
an abnormal pap is very common and in most
cases is nothing serious. But it's a
good thing to get checked out. Good luck
with your colposcopy and congrats on your
pregnancy! You'll be fine!
