I am 28 years old I was recently diagnosed with CIN II.
My Dr.s office wanted to schedual a LEEP right away but I insited on talking with my Dr. first.
My family has an exstencive history of cervical, uterin, ovarian cancers & endometetreosis.
I told my Dr. that I am not convinced that a LEEP will be a good long term solution. I would rather just get a historectomy & get rid of any future chance at any of those things. My Dr. does not want to do that. She pretty much talked me in to it.
I also had other concerns that I talked to her about such as, I DO NOT want any more children or periods. I have not had a period in over a year because of birthcontrol & I don't really want it back or to keep taking birthcontrol. She sugested that I have the LEEP to get rid of the cancer, my tubes tied so I can't get pregnant & an Ablation of my uterus to help control my periods.
Because of the many women I have heard that the leep did not work for & my family history I am still not convinced but I guess that I have to go through all of this & just take my chances & if it does not work then she will do a historectomy.
I have never had any kind of sugery & I am SCARED! I was doing ok but the closer to surgery day the more worried I get. I feel like I should not be so freaked out about it because it is such a common thing but I am!
Well... I guess I don't really have any questions rather I just wanted to vent & maybe get some comfort from people that understand.
THANKS!!!
