I RECENTLY WENT TO THE OBGYN FOR AN ABNORMAL PERIOD. I THOUGHT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN STRESS AND WASN'T TOO WORRIED ABOUT IT. THE DR DID A PAP AND A FEW OTHER LABS AND SCHEDULED AN ULTRASOUND, THEN SENT ME ON MY WAY. I WENT BACK 2 DAYS LATER FOR AN ULTRASOUND WHERE THEY FOUND MY OVARIES ARE COVERED WITH CYSTS. I WAS DEVASTED. I LEFT THE DR THAT DAY HOPING THAT WAS THE CAUSE OF MY ABNORMAL PERIOD AND NOTHING MORE. I GOT A CALL FROM THE DR 2 DAYS LATER WITH NEWS THAT MY PAP CAME BACK ABNORMAL. THE RESULT WAS HIGH GRADE INTRAEPITHELIAL SQUAMOS LESIONS. I WENT BACK IN A WEEK LATER AND HAD A BIOPSY DONE. THEY INJECTED SOME SORT OF VINEGAR DIE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO TURN THE ABNORMAL CELLS WHITE. ON MOST PATIENTS A MICROSCOPE IN NECESSARY TO SEE THESE CELLS. THEY FOUND SO MANY ABNORMAL CELLS ON MY CERVIX THAT THE MICROSCOPE WAS NOT NEEDED. I HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED THE RESULTS BACK FROM THE BIOPSY...BUT WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR ME? WILL I STILL BE ABLE TO HAVE KIDS WITH THESE PROBLEMS? I ALSO HAVE LOW CHOLESTEROL AND A HYPERACTIVE THYROID. AM I TOO YOUNG TO HAVE THESE PROBLEMS? I AM ONLY 23. WHAT DO I DO?
