LEEP ?'S: Leep procedures usually remove the "abnormal cells" which the LEEP procedure is performed to remove, but persistent HPV infection may cause more abnormal cells to occur after the LEEP procedure. Colposcopy can detect the location of abnormal cells on the remaining cervix, and other treatments (TCA treatment or cryo procedures) may be alternative treatments.

I am 22..Abnormal paps and it came back lsil. Had a colposcopy & biopsy which came back hsil. Do I have to get leep?How many choose not to & are fine

Colposcopy showed CIN II. Last year it was CIN I. All other Paps were clear. Dr wants me to get LEEP or Laser. Is it crucial I do this now, or can I wait to see if it clears on it's own over the next 6-12 months? Worried for hurting pregnancy chances
