4 Abnormal Pap Smears & 3 Normal ColposcopiesFrom: Karyn (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 18 Mar 1999 17:09:57 -0600 (CST)
Last March (1998) I went for my regular yearly exam at my OBGYN. One week later, I received a call from the office telling me that my pap smear came back abnormal. They scheduled me for a colposcopy. During the colposcopy, the doctor did not see anything that seemed abnormal but he took a biopsy of a small spot that he saw. The test from the biopsy came back normal. 4 months later I had another pap smear done - again the results were abnornal showing moderate displasia. I had another coposcopy done - the doctor didn't see anything very abnormal. Again, he took a biopsy and the test from the biopsy came back normal. He then told me that I could either wait it out or get the LEEP procedure. I didn't want to get the LEEP because I didn't understand what he would be removing. I schelduled another colposcopy and pap smear for 4 months later. During the colposcopy, the doctor said everything looked healthy. This time, he did not take a biopsy but he did do a pap smear. I just got off the phone with the nurse - the pap smear showed moderate displasia again! Should I have the LEEP procedure? What if after the LEEP, I still get the same results from my pap smear? Could the pap smear be indicating a problem somewhere else? I am so confused.
