A member asked:
What is the success rate of leep for removing abnormal cells? does having a leep affect future pregnancy in any way?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends on stage: If the HPV abnormal cells are stage CIN III (highest pre-cancer stage ) then LEEP does not always remove the cells in the inner part of the cervix. Often another procedure type is recommended in that case. LEEP can damage the inner cervix when healed which can cause higher rates of miscarriage or pregnancy loss with future pregnancies. Cryotherapy or LEEP are usually recommended for CIN II or less
