LEEP?: "Lietz"? Or LEEP (loop electrosurgical excision procedure)? I'm not sure it's necessary -- pap smears aren't even recommended at your age. Below 25-30, almost all cervical HPV infections clear on their own, even if dysplasia is present. Discuss w/ doc or get 2nd opinion at one of Australia's excellent government funded sexual health centres. Nabothian cysts are normal at age 19, not caused by HPV.
