I have to go for a LEEP!
And not the froggie type leap. :p
Saw my colposcopy doctor today. He said the procedure is much like the colposcopy, and is a 5 minute ordeal. Doesn't sound bad at all. He mentioned cramping like the Colposcopy. I got operated on for severe endometriosis a few years ago, I think I can handle the LEEP cramping :) Anyone else been through one? Apparently they found the 'bad' cells, versus the 'not so bad, but still bad' cells, so they're going to clean things out. Should be interesting. |
Hey Laura~ Nope, didn't have the "Leep" procedure done, but a couple of my friends have. If I remember correctly, it was basically some cramping due to having to dilate your cervix a bit.
I had laser many yrs ago and yes, the one thing I remember, was the cramping, but it didn't last long. I think it's a good idea to have it done. take care and keep us posted. |

Just as an FYI for those who require this procedure...
The 'after' cramping for me, far less than with the Colposcopy. They did a freezing needle, only felt like a pinch. The freaky part was they had me on a heart monitor and said, "You may feel your heart begin to race". It didn't thankfully. I had 2 great nurses, and my gyno Dr. is a very calm and comforting soul, so I felt at ease for the entire procedure. Now I'm seeing orange-colored stuff being 'disposed' of, but this is mentioned on the sheet (orange/brown I guess). Oh yeah, I also chewed gum which seemed to help (the nurse said I may be able to taste the freezing stuff). Now I go back in 4 months for a repeat colposcopy. Unfortunately! :p |
