displasia

Hi, my name is Cindy. I am 43, will be 44 in June. I was diagnosed with mild displasia in 96. They had to do a loop on me to remove it. I have just been diagnosed with it again last october . I went to the Dr. last wed. and they told me it had spread a little more. I do not have insurance and my doctor said that when I come back in July that if it is still spreading, I will have to have a biopsy done.I too am scared because since I left last wed I am having abnormal bleeding it just starts, sometimes just when I am exercising. I will bleed kind of heavy then it slowsw to spotting. This has happened to me twice since last week. I am very scared and don't know what to think. Has anyone ever experienced this? The last time they diagnosed me with displasia they removed it right away. The Dr. said that I should be fine until July, I do not know if I should call him about this now or wait to see what happens. I have also been feeling weak when it happens. I hope I do not sound silly, I am really scared and need someone to talk to. Thanks for listening to me. I aloso have a 20 year old daughter who has more of a moderate displasia..she gets vaccinations for it and hers keeps spreading also.

Hi there - i am sorry to hear about your situation !

My opinion is you should call your doctor and tell him about the bleeding; normally this kind of bleeding is not a good sign. Did your doctor take a PAP smear from your cervix (with a brush?) and make a colposcopy - or how else was he able to determine your displasia "spreads"? Some spotting may be the result of a brush - but not more! More than a week of bleeding is too much for that.
I am not sure if it is possible for you to maybe see another doctor and get a 2nd opinion on this (before July!); maybe also your daughers condition needs a 2nd opinion because moderate displasia needs treatment in many cases...

All the best to you andyour daughter and if you need more information, don't hesitate to ask!

He used some kind of a swab thing.. it was like gauze between two stick and then did a swab with this long like q-tip. I start out bleeding alot, then  i start to spot. I was at the gym today and began to bleed, I could feel it start and had toleave.. I am really scared.

 I had also bleeding shortly after the pap smear but it was more spotting then bleeding and it stopped after few minutes - continous bleeding should not happen normally - so if your scared, please go and see your doctor again to get it looked after.

I really think u should go to one doctor ! 

 I wish I had more info for you !

 

I think you need to get copies of your lab reports and get another doctor. Something about what you are being told doesn't sound right. When you look at the reports, check to see

1. Exactly what you have.

2. How extensive it is.

3. How many cervical quadrants are involved. (Where were the bopsies taken?)

4. If it's in the endocervical canal.

5. If it's in the endocervical glands.

In addition, when did your daughter have the shots? I was cautioned to not get the vaccine by an OB/GYN because it can accelerate dysplasia in women who have already been exposed to HPV. Your daughter is the fourth woman I have encountered who had the vaccine and developed dysplasia, now. But please have her get copies of her lab reports and check for the same things.

Lastly, if your daughter and you choose to have surgery, please make the doctor give you a full discussion of the risks and benefits of all your treatment options - cryosurgery, laser, LEEP, and cold knife cone biopsy. What you both have will determine what is appropriate. Your daughter's new doctor needs to be especially conservative about how to treat her because of her age. This is per the ACOG. It is important the the doctor does what is appropriate and not what he or she prefers.
