Hello,
I'm new to the forum but used to be a member a looong time ago when my kids were babies.
I need help:
I had abnormal pap smears for years and ignored the situation for a long time due to being busy (although that wasn't the smartest thing, I know.) Last year after another abnormal pap, I was sent to a specialist. He did a colposcopy & biopsy and they determined I had Cervical Dysplasia due to HPV, and it was CIN III which is the highest level before Carcinoma In Situ (which I think is the initial stages of Cervical Cancer.) I immediately had a LEEP procedure done. Three months later, I had another colposcopy and just got my results last week. It came back CIN I (low grade cervical dysplasia) in the canal (cervical canal?) and not outside, whereas before I had CIN III in the canal and outside the canal. Of course, I am sure canal is not the scientific term
My OB/GYN suggested we watch it and test again in three months. He said if it progresses to CIN III the recommendation is to have another LEEP, but because it appears to be persistent, if it continues to be so, the recommendation would be a hysterectomy. (I'm assuming partial because he said not the ovaries.)
Here's the thing- I don't want a hysterectomy. I am thirty years old, divorced, and although I may not want any more children (I have two beautiful, awesome kids) I do not want to lose my lady parts or the option of having more children.
I am committed to doing whatever I can to reverse the dysplasia and am trying to find all natural ways to help.
Thank you in advance http://www.mothering.com//www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/
