Has anyone here had cervical displasia?

Question

If so, what treatment did you decide to get?

sorry, its actually dyplasia.

Has anyone had the lazor treatment done? I want to do this treatment method but am worried about the costs...

Answer 1

I've been through all the treatments the others suggested, including LEEP, which is the laser procedure. It was outpatient surgery, and there was some pain after the painkillers wore off, but it wasn't serious. Thankfully, my insurance covered most of the cost.

At that point, I wasn't interested in a hysterectomy. If the dyplasia had been more advanced, that would have been the next step. I did have a child, and after that, my pap smears have been pretty normal, but I've also had a number that were "inconclusive."

This is definitely a condition to catch early and treat immediately since it can sneak up on someone. I myself need to get in, but I don't have that great insurance coverage anymore. Still, I think I'll make a call, because my son needs me. You need to take care of yourself, too. Find a way. I'm going to assume you aren't a candidate for the new vaccine?

Answer 2

Yes, I have. The treatment I received was a procedure called a LEEP procedure. I can't remember what the letters stand for. The physician uses a cautery loop to burn away the layer of tissue containing the dysplastic cervical cells. The physician numbs your cervix first with an injection of lidocaine, so you don't really feel anything except for maybe some cramping. After that I just had to have a Pap smear every three months for a year and they all turned out normal.

My wife had it. She had several "cold cones" or if you don't know what that is, is when they actually freeze the cervix and scrape or cut the top layers off. But this didn't help her, because it was still present on the cervix. The doctor was worried about it turning into cervical cancer. We talked about it and decided the best treatment was to eliminate the cervix, thus eliminate the problem. She wound up having to have a total hysterectomy. Watch this closely. Best of luck to you.

Answer 4

I had it 18 years ago and the only treatment option available was Cryosurgery otherwise known as a cervical freeze. It's important to know if your dysplasia is caused by HPV, and if so, what strain it is. Not all strains will develop into cancer and require treatment. If yours is one that does require treatment, I would say to ask your doctor what treatment options he/she offers and then research the pros and cons of each. I wouldn't necessarily recommend the cryosurgery, it was messy and uncomfortable, but it did work!

Answer 5

I had it... they first froze the tip of my cervix to see if that worked. It didn't but thats the first step. They then had to do a cone biopsy. That took care of it. It isn't a pleasurable thing at all. There is alot of discomfort but a hell of a lot better then dieing of cervical cancer at 26.
