Question 1

bubbling stomach,always feel full, stomach cramps, and pain in left upper abdomen thats sharp what is it high crp, abnormal biopsy, normal endoscopy?

Accepted Answer

Gastroparesis: Many of your symptoms sound like those of someone with gastroparesis, or slow emptying of the stomach. I'm not sure what abnormal biopsy means, but you might want to ask your doctor if it makes sense to assess for the possibility of gastroparesis.

Question 2

i had appendectomy and left oopherectomy  due to pcos, large cysts rupturing and abnormal biopsies. having right lower abd pain, n/v and fever now...?

Accepted Answer

Get evaluated: Fevers after surgery are concerning. Your case sounds like it was complex and technically challenging. Call or go into your surgeon for an evaluation. That doctor knows the most about your case. You carry some risk for abcess.

Question 3

what is the next procedure after having 7 abnormal pap smears and 7 abnormal cervical biopsy's? tired of getting biopsy's done, i want it fixed.

Accepted Answer

Cone biopsy: Depending on what your cervical biopsy shows, a cervical cone knife conization or a leep ( another way to do it) is the next step. Usually these procedures are reserved for patients with biopsy showing cin ii or cin iii.

Question 4

i have an ovarian cyst that won't go away... i had 3 transvaginal ultrasounds .. now the dr says it's normal... i had an abnormal endometrial biopsy?

Accepted Answer

Well: As long as your doctor is following it carefully
you should follow their advice.  How big is this cyst.  If it is over 5 cm in size i tend to get more concerned.

Question 5

p-anca results high and ibs-d issues alleviated by cholestrayamine. colonoscopies every 1-3 years for colon polyps removals since age 30. only abnormal colon biopsy results have been lymphocytic colitis and an colon adenoma. no uc dx? ideas?

Accepted Answer

: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, positive P-anca by itself is not diagnostic of UC. You are doing the right thing by seeing your doctor regularly.    Wish you good health!

Question 6

what are some more extensive evaluations and followup procedures to expect after multiple abnormal paps, cone biopsies and a leep procedure. ?

Accepted Answer

You named them: The procedures used to evaluate for pre-cancer cells of cervix are: paps, hpv dna probe, cervical biopsy, leep and cold knife conization of cervix.  Typically a doctor will remove affected tissue of a cin 3 biopsy until the margins are clear of abnormal cells.  At 29, docs should be conservative and try to remove as little tissue as possible, so not to ^ ur risk cervical incompet and preterm birth.

Question 7

what makes an a bone marrow biopsy abnormal?

Accepted Answer

Change in components: A bone marrow biopsy in a normal person will find the pattern of cells most often seen in a healthy person of that age.This would include red cells and their precursers (builders), white cells & precursers, platelet precursers &  others. In illness, the pattern changes, and some or all may be abnormal. Tumor cells may take over every space& or few if any normal cells may be seen.

Question 8

i had a changing mole removed last week and i am still waiting on results. i am 26 with a history of heavy tanning. is it abnormal for a biopsy to take this long?

Accepted Answer

Work flow: Lab work flow for tissue samples requires usually two days for processing and reporting of routine cases. Sometimes a case may have complexity under the microscope and require additional studies taking a few more days. Most physicians schedule follow-up between 7-14 days to account for this variable process. Pigmented  lesions are  critical cases, so consultation between pathologists is common.

Question 9

i had an endoscopy today. during the procedure they found:

erythema in the gastroesophageal junction. (biopsy).

abnormal mucosa in the antrum. (biopsy).

will you please put this in layman's terms. thank you very much?

Accepted Answer

Basics: Erythema=red which suggests dilated blood vessels. Gastroesophageal junction=where the swallow tube enters the stomach. Mucosa= the surface layer of tissue. Antrum = the area near the entrance. The terms are not specific but suggest the kind of irritation that occurs with acid reflux. It does not suggest a cancer or other bad problem.

Question 10

high risk hpv. first abnormal pap led biopsy result showed cin1 (condyloma). 6 month followup shows chronic cervicitis with no dyspl. pls advise. ?

Accepted Answer

Repeat PAPs: Follow your doctor's advice for repeat pap testing. It is important to do that to catch a potential worsening of the lesion.
