Has your doctor discussed all of your options, from the many different treatment choices to how this effects fertility and pregnancy, in addition to giving recommendations? Why did your doctor not do a colposcopy and biopsy when the PAP smear came back with CIN I? Consider getting a different doctor if you are not getting honest and in-depth information from your current doctor or if you are uncomfortable and have even the remotest doubts.Insofar as bleeding after the first PAP smear since your partial amputation is concerned, my first PAP smear was excruciatingly painful, and I was sore for two weeks, afterward. It unfortunatelely takes my body longer to heal, and four months, later, the area was still raw. You may have the same problem. You could also have an infection, or there could be something else wrong that your doctor should check. In any event, discuss it with your doctor. Or your new doctor. herenow Wed, 19 Mar 2008 00:00:00 GMT
