I would like to thank you for taking the time to review and add your opinion to my questions and situation. I am a 24 year old white female. I just started a new job, so to go with that new insurance. I had to choose a new Gynecologist. I was never asked for records from my previous physician. Nor was I asked for a family history. I had my routine Pap test done and upon leaving mentioned that no family history was ever done. I told my Doctor at that time that my mother had cervical cancer as age 23 and had to have a full hysterectomy. My results then came back abnormal. My doctor requested a colposcapy at that time. My first question lies there. I know that vinegar is used to turn cancerous cells white. Does that work on everyone? My physician saw no changes so she drained some fluid from my cervix. I was given the results over the phone today. The findings where of mild dysplasia. Everything I have been able to find over the Internet about dysplasia was of the outer cervix only, and all forms (grades) required treatment. I was offered no treatment for my condition. What treatment would dysplasia of the cervical canal (I assume) would be recommended and/or are available. I realize every case is different and without the slides there is little you can tell me, but your opinion is much appreciated. If you have a list of questions I should ask that would be wonderful. To get back to my family history, after a discussion with my mother, I have found that my grandmother and great-grandmother also had cancer of the cervix before age 25. My last question is in your opinion, what would you think of the competency of a firm that does not have a practice of collecting a family history. Is this something that should effect my decision in continuing care with this practice. Thank you so much.
