Mild Dyspasia [Dysplasia]
by: RV on Thu, May 15 2008

I just turned 28 years old and received the call of an abnormal pap for the first time a couple weeks ago. I didn’t know what to think, I was scared and confused. I’m still a little of both. My doctor is being very informative and sincere about the whole thing. When he called to tell me about the abnormal pap, he let me know that I came up positive for HPV So, I went in for the colscopy last week and got the results this morning that I have mild dysplasia.

My doctor has given me two options, 1. I can wait 6 months and have another pap smear, but if it comes back abnormal again I would have to get another coloscopy. It could get worse, but it could get better. Option 2 is that I have LEEP. I haven’t had much of a chance to do any research on this yet, but if anyone has any advice or would like to let me know what LEEP is like I would greatly appreciate it. So, here I am, left with this decision to make. I’m leaning toward LEEP, just because I don’t want to go through the coloscopy again if I don’t have to.

“normal” to “severe dysplasia” in less than a year and only 23 yrs old - by DK - (Wed, May 14 2008)
I am 23 years old and I have always gone in for my annual pap smear and my results have always come back normal. I remember hearing stories from other girls that their results were “abnormal” and they need to get a coloscopy. [more..]
Confusing News? - by KN - (Tue, May 13 2008)
I was told last August that I had cervical dysplasia and thus I went into the doctor for a colposcopy and subsequentially a biopsy. As is expected, I was nervous and confused. The results came back as “normal” and so I brushed the news off and resumed my life as normal. [more..]
Scared To Death - by HH - (Fri, May 09 2008)
