Weird results (CIN III, CIN I and nothing!) please help me to understand...

I'm 29 and in nov 2008 my pap smears came back with CIN III, after colposcopy and biopsy it returned CIN I. My doctor asked me to repeat the exams again because the difference of the results was huge. In january I did all the exames with different doctor (colposcopy and biposy) and the results came back clean, there is nothing, no displasia...

Today my doctor said that is better i have a leep to make sure because they cant figure out what is happening. Does it have happened to anyone ? should I see other doctor? Thank you

Get a third opinion or a new doctor. There are a number of scenarios that could be taking place. In addition, was an ECC done? Was there any mention of dysplasia in the endocervical glands? But the situations I am posing below are why I am concerned.

1. Your body's immune system is strong and you cleared it up, naturally. If he does a LEEP and it doesn't prove to have just cause, you'll be furious, and the only outcome is he'll have made money.

2. The lab report was mixed up with somebody else, in which case it was good you had it done, again, by the second doctor.

3. There is something further up being missed, in which case, you should be further examined, and a LEEP, or even cold knife cone biopsy, would be a good idea to further diagnose and, hopefully, treat you successfully.

LEEP can be used when the colposcopy is unsatisfactory, and I can definitely see the doctor's concern, due to the enormous difference in your lab results. But the second doctor did not find anything. That your primary OB/GYN has decided to do a LEEP is a little alarming. LEEP concerns me because of its overuse. I'm not saying don't do it because if you are in situation number 3, not being proactive could endanger your life. What I am saying is go over all of this very carefully and check all avenues, first, and do it as soon as possible. A third opinion could help you. See if your primary care physician has a good referral for you.

Hi there,

I am so sorry you are going through this. I had an abnormal pap for the first time on Wed. the 14th of January..I was so confused and scared all at the same time. I had a colposcopy on the 19th of January and I had a Cone Knife done on the 28th of January. This was the worst thing that ever happened to me, the fear of cancer. Waiting for the results was horrible. I lost 6 pound in two weeks. All i could think of was my kids and my fiance and of couse my life..I am sorry to hear about your situation and my hearts goes out to you and your family, I know everyday you wake up and probably search the internet for some answers as I did everyday. I worried myself and cried alot of the unknown. If i was you I would do what you think is best for you. I had every procedure my doctor recommended and I asked alot of question. If you are searching the internet then maybe you should go back to your doctors for more explanation of whats going with you. I only say this because I searched the Internet all the time. I had convinced my self that I has cancer and on Feb.6th I found out that I do not have cancer, i had precancerous cells that was taken out when I had the Cone Knife done. I am blessed that God answers my prayers and I am thankful for my doctor for going the extra mile for me and helping me have a healthier body. I am not sure about CinI or CinII or CinIII...I must say I have searched the internet to know only a little bit but, my advice to you is call your doctor again and have him go over everything with you. You deserve that much. I will keep you in my prayers. In fact, I will just pray for anyone who is going through any ttpe of health issues..So to everyone here...PLEASE HAVE FAITH AND KEEP FIGHTING THE FIGHT...DONT GIVE UP AND KNOW THAT THERE IS A LIGHT AFTER EVRY TUNNEL.

gOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE AND I HAVE YOU ALL IN MY PRAYERS..

Thanks for your answers, is good to know that we are not alone... I'm really scaried about the leep procedure,  my doctor told me to bring my ipod because the noise, I heard that smells like burn... I'm depressed because of this situation, it has taken 4 months! My doctor said that is better I have a leep because something is missing, probably the tissues taken from the biopsies came from an clean part of my cervix... I saw 2 different doctors, and the second one was colposcopy specialist. I'm going to look for a 3rd opinion, but anyway my leep appointment still on for march 12th. Last night had a nightmare about this, it is killing me!

Anyway, tks for your help and I'll pray for all of you...
