Question 1

i have high grade cervical dysplasia. i already had a leep procedure done, it went away, and came back. how will a second leep effect me?

Accepted Answer

What did your doc sa: It depends obviously if the doc can get it all out with clean margins, if they can then you will need to be followed, assuming you want to preserve your fertilty, if u do not want to preserve your fertily u can get a robotic hysterectomy, and if you were my pt since u have recurrent dysplasia i would refer you to a gyn cancer surgeon as that doc will be better trained than a regular gyn for you.

Question 2

i was told today i have severe cervical dysplasia. which treatment choice is better hysterectomy or leep?

Accepted Answer

Depends: A leep is much less invasive and usually an effective treatment.  It can be performed in the office with local anesthesia.  A hysterectomy can also be performed and may make more sense in certain circumstances.  If you have other medical issues that could be addressed by having a hysterectomy and you are finished with childbearing  then a hysterectomy could be a better choice.

Question 3

what do you advise if i was told today i have severe cervical dysplasia. which treatment option is best, hysterectomy or leep?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Either would be appropriate treatment for severe cervical dysplasia.  The best treatment is the one that you are most comfortable with.  A LEEP can be curative, but the recurrence risk is 30% to 50%.  The recurrence risk after a hysterectomy is less than 55.

Question 4

i have had a colposcopy and a leep for cervical dysplasia and my follow up pap shows another low grade lesion. i have hpv. im worried about fertility ?

Accepted Answer

Good to be concerned: Studies have shown that patients who have had a LEEP procedure may have a higher incidence of cervical stenosis or premature delivery from cervical incompetence. However HPV alone will NOT prevent you from getting pregnant assuming there are no other factors like tubal occlusion or lack of ovulation. If the HPV progresses to overt cervical cancer then fertility options will be revisited.

Question 5

had severe dysplasia (had leep) , now breakthough bleeding. any connection with precancerous cells of the uterus and cervical dysplasia?

Accepted Answer

Dysplasia: 95 % of cervical abnormalities are of the surface layer (squamous epithelium). The smaller portion is of the glandular tissue. If your dyplasia was not glandular in nature, then  no connection with precancerous cells of the uterus.

Question 6

i am scheduled for a leep due to severe cervical dysplasia. i have hpv . now i am having severe rectal pain only when i shower. is gyn dr to check it?

Accepted Answer

Examination: Make sure that when you are seeing you gynecologist to tell the doc about your above symptom. They would be able to check the anal area and if there is any lesion they can also do a biopsy of the lesion. Hpv is a risk factor for cervical cancer as well as anal cancer. If there is no obvious finding on the anal area, you should see a gastroenterologist for a colonoscopy. Discuss with your md.

Question 7

i have to do a medical abortioni feel like my body couldn't handle and will be complications i've experienced bleeding complications in the past fr. leep and past abortion. i have cervical dysplasia, low blood pressure alpha1antitrypsin deficiency?

Accepted Answer

: To be safe you should consult an abortion provider. Good luck.

Question 8

what is cervical dysplasia? what can you do to treat it?

Accepted Answer

PRE-cancer: Dysplasia refers to abnormal cells on the cervical surface that can progress to cancer if ignored. It is usually caused by a virus called HPV. These can be seen under a microscope when a pathologist looks at a biopsy and can be suggested by an abnormal Pap smear.  If the dysplasia is "low grade" it may go away on its own. If "high grade" you need treatment by surgery, laser or freezing the area.

Question 9

what are symptoms of cervical dysplasia besides warts?

Accepted Answer

Different things: Genital warts almost always occur externally (you can see them without a speculum). Most often they will be on the vulva and rarely are they dysplastic (pre-malignant). They are also called condyloma accuminata. Cervical dysplasia occurs on the opening into your uterus and implies pre-malignant changes to the cells. Both are caused by HPV. Your pap tests will evaluate for cervical dysplasia.

Question 10

how serious is a cin 3 cervical dysplasia for a woman in her 20's?

Accepted Answer

Needs follow-up!: Cin 3 cervical dysplasia means pre-cancerous cells were found on your pap smear.  It's caused by hpv, a virus. The next step is a "colposcopy", which means a doctor looks at your cervix with a microscope after putting  vinegar on it.  Sounds weird, but the vinegar makes early cancer turn white so it can be removed. This will ensure you don't get cervical cancer later!  don't be scared... Just get treated!  to learn from other women with this, go to: https://www.Inspire.Com/groups/national-cervical-cancer-coalition/discussion/cin-3-scared/.
