A member asked:
Will a leep procedure stop you from having abnormal papsmears?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
LEEP: The purpose is to remove abnormal cells. There is no guarantee that all of the abnormal cells are removed or that they will not recurr. The purpose is to remove the abnormal tissue and then monitor you. Hopefully you will return to have normal pap smears.
