I had a leep one month ago for cin 3. i went to a new dr 15 days after leep and she took a pap-it was asc-h. can inflammation from leep be the cause?

Possible: You are very likely correct, 15 days after a leep is far too early for a follow-up pap smear. There would be extensive inflammation that would compromise interpreting the pap and the result would be uninformative. 3 to 6 months after a leep is the recommended interval to re-screen with a pap.
