Subject: Choices for Dysplasia Removal
Date: 01/07/2008

I have been so unhappy with the complications from LEEP, I want to encourage women with cervical dysplasia to discuss the types of dysplasia you have and all four methods for amputation with your doctors before making a decision about which method is best for you. (Cryosurgery, LEEP, laser, and cold-knife cone biopsy) The doctor I fired bullied me into LEEP. The doctor I replaced her with was so concerned about calming me and was more concerned about honoring my wish to be under general anesthesia, he didn't ask why I chose that method. Afterward, when we talked, he said he prefers it because it gives a live specimen, but the success rate is the same as the other methods. In retrospect, I would have insisted on laser. My body is suspectible to infections, and laser would have reduced that possibility.

 One important fact to keep in mind is that insurance companies love LEEP because it is cost effective. Your body is not for profit. For many women, LEEP is the best method. But make sure you discuss all options with your doctor, first. It's your body and your comfort level.

What were your side effects?  I am scheduled to have one Thursday of this week and I am not very comfortable with it.  She does not even give you anything for nerves and I bleed A LOT and am worried about bleeding too much in her office with nothing to help me should it not stop.
