My new gyn told me he would recomend a hysterectomy if the dysplasia comes back. I have been having paps at 6 month intervals now and they have all been okay. I just got the results from the last one today and it was okay. The one before that showed benign celluar changes. I have been on pins and needles for the last 2 weeks. What are the chances of the dysplasia recurring in my case? Is there a good possibility of it coming back. Thanks for helping me. You doctors provide a wonderful service for us. >-- >Harvey S.
