A member asked:

Since fall of 2011 i have had 4 abnormal pap smears and a colposcopy with a biopsy that came back as atypical benign. should i be worried?

Need LEEP: If you have had abnormal paps, followed by a colposcopy, followed be persistent abnormal paps, then you need an excisional procedure on the cerix called a leep. There may be unidentified problems that should be addressed more definitively.
