I've been through the colposcopy, biopsy, and cryosurgery for moderate
dysplasia. The colposcopy and biopsy didn't hurt, but I have to be
honest and say the cryosurgery did A LOT. I was told to take Ibruprofen
about a half hour before the procedure. Don't know if it really helped
or not. It sorta feels like major menstrual cramps or labor, I've
experienced both. My doctor froze my cervix for 3 minutes. After this
time she left me alone to rest for about 15 minutes or so. I became
extremely flushed and hot, which I hear is common, and so I had a nurse
give me a cold washrag to cool me down. Within a few minutes I was
fine, no pain in the cervix. The pain stopped as soon as the 3 minutes
of freezing was done. I was told not to have sex or use tampons for 2
weeks, some doctors say a month. I had a very watery discharge,
requiring me to wear pads everyday for about 3 or 4 weeks. If you'd
like more information on this, or just more reassurance let me know. You
can e-mail me at gebeck@uswest.net. I will be praying for you!
