severe dyskaryosis after LOOP

louloublue

forgot to add..

after my LOOP I was put on a double course of antibiotics as I got a urinary infection and infection in my cervix....




and I've heard that LOOP is painful so soon after having one...would be grateful to hear from anyone who has had 2 LOOPS within 6 months...

thanks for your time...

I have just gone through the same thing as you and currently am recovering from a total hysterectomy on 9/7. I can tell you that after the surgery, my doctor informed me that it was a good thing I went ahead with the hysterectomy as the pre-cancer cells were found deep into my cervix. Thankfully, it was done before invasion occurred. Have you considered consulting with an oncologist??

Hi stacy..thanks for taking the time out to reply....


Being in the uk I'm not sure if you can 'pick and choose' who you can see....i.e if I'd be allowed to ask for a referral to an oncologist....I will ask when I go for my 2nd LEEP tomorrow....

Are you all clear now after your hysterectomy?

I am 4 weeks post-op tomorrow. My doctor told me I will need to still have pap smears every 3 months for the first two years, even though my cervix was removed, because the cells can come back in the vaginal vault. He said if my paps are clear for two years, I will then just have to have them once a year. The recovery has not been easy; but I'd rather be dealing with this than cancer. I hope your leep went well today........I know it wasn't a pleasant experience for me!! Let me know how you made out.

hi stacy....

It went really well thanks...tho a little more painful than the first..
Apparently that's because of the 'scar tissue'...

but on the positive side the LOOP took 25 mins instead of an over an hour when I had the procedure the first time....I watched it all happening on the tv screen this time too..

I talked to the Cons before hand and he said he 'thought I would have had to come back due to biopsy result's from first LOOP'...which still baffles me as he said every thing looked great when I went for my follow up smear..then when he performed colposcopy and looked and sprayed the vinegar he turned to his med student and said it was 'up the canal' Anyway, I've had a couple of biopsies taken and should have results within 2 weeks...

I asked him what would happen if on my next follow up smear I still had the same cells present and he said 'well, there isn't much left of your cervix to takeaway via loop and asked me if I wanted anymore children....guess that means a hysterectomy?


oh fingers crossed you're all clear stacy...I think you'd be extremely unlucky not to be...xxx
