First test after the laser..help.... - Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Message Board

Hallo to everyone!

I am 24 and about 2 months ago i had a colposcopy and a biopsy that showed the strains hpv 16 and hpv 31, CIN1-2, LGSIL. Therefore I had a LASER.. awful feeling..
I do not smoke and i try to have a healthy diet.I also take folic acid and eviol(vitamine E) everyday in order to boost my immune system. I am with the same partner for 3 years and since the colposcopy and the laser we use condoms all the time..

In about a week i am having me first pap test after the laser and i am sooooo scared.. I am afraid of having an abnormal test result again, or even worse..
Whaat do you think could be the results of the test? Will it show CIN1-2 again, will it be clear, or could it be even worse than CIN2?????

i know that what i am asking is only a prediction, but i would like to know more or less what to expect because i think i cannot handle with a bad result second time in a row.. My mental condition is not very good, i want to cry all the time, do not want to work and feel stressed all the time..I might overreact but i am so scared.. as if my whole life has changed..

I am so stressed about the test.. please i need your help...

thank you very very much, best wishes to every special woman in here..

I'm sorry you're feeling so sad; I know the feeling and it's terrible waiting for results. You feel so out of control of the situation, and I know I always start assuming the worst.

Unfortunately, it would be almost impossible to predict what the test results will say, though I seriously doubt it would be anything WORSE than what you already had after such a short time. It sounds like you're doing all the right things lifestyle-wish and at least have that on your side.

Best of luck, and don't be afraid to go talk to a professional if you need to. You're going through a lot, and talking to someone objective might be the best thing.

I haaaatttteee waiting.. I am the world's most patient person when it comes to kids and idiots.. but for test results? for life? nada.
It's the band-aid you just want to hurry up and rip off, but life insists you wait.
Good luck to you though! I haven't had to go through too much yet as I have only just discovered the virus and I'm already terrified.. I can only imagine how you feel now. I'm sure it will be fine! The more and more I discuss on this board and read other reports and stories, the more confident I feel about this! Hang in there Lady! We need to hear a good success story.

I won't try to predict the outcome of your pap. I *will* tell you that knowledge helps you make informed decisions. When I don't have a lot of information, I get confused, angry, and upset easier.

I suggest you tell your doctor how you are feeling. He/she should answer all of your questions (take in a written list) and help lay your fears to rest.

Let us know how it goes, ok?

Thank you for your immediate interest..I am convinced that only women who are in the same shoes can feel how i feel and understand me..

The point is whether a laser treatment is good enough and sufficient for the high risk type 16.. Hopefully it is..Hopefully the result will be better..

I have always been an optimist but now...no patience, no hope, no good thoughts,,always the worst comes to mind..And having read all those articles on the internet about pral cancer due to HPV16 i am more terrified, although my doctor did not mention anything about it..

do you know whether a laser in good enough for CIN1-2?

thanks again in advance..
God Bless you!!
