Question 2

what is a cervical conization?

Accepted Answer

Remove precancerous: Cervical conization is a surgery to remove a section of the cervix when there are pre-cancerous cells. This can usually be done in the office, and recovery is not too uncomfortable. Extra repeat pap smears should still be done to make sure all pre-cancerous cells are gone and don't return. Can still have kids after, but cervix can be weak or scarred, so will need special attention when pregnant.

Yes: Yes. It may be more difficult if there is extensive scarring at the cervical site.

Yes always: But may or may not be significant hopefully you are just getting a leep and not a cold knife cone which is worse.

Question 5

what can i expect from cervical conization?

Accepted Answer

Easy procedure: A cold cone biopsy of the cervix is a quick procedure & usually done in the or in case heavy bleeding is encountered. Either a general anesthetic, IV sedation, or a local injection can be used. I prefer a combination of the later two and my patients do very well. They rarely feel any pain & appreciate the short  nap.

LEEP: Leep stands for loop electrocautery conization procedure, and essentially removes about a triscut-wafer sized rectangle, usually, from the cervix which is intended to remove and dysplastic cells.

Not to worry: Crampy pain during procedure if you're not under anesthesia, some bleeding after, like a period. 
Your doctor should also provide instructions and information in the post procedure paperwork.
