not a bad day

So, it was back to Dr. H. for the cervical thing.
The coplopscopy came out fine. But, because there is a discrepency between it and the pap, we're doing a leep.

I'm at the wrong phase of my cycle for a leep, so it's back Feb 5 for it.



The loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) is used when your Pap smear indicates the presence of abnormal cells on the surface of the cervix. This does not mean you have cancer, but treatment of the abnormal area is important to prevent the cells from developing into cervical cancer.

LEEP uses a thin wire loop electrode which is attached to an electrosurgical generator. The generator transmits a painless electrical current that quickly cuts away the affected cervical tissue in the immediate area of the loop wire. This causes the abnormal cells to rapidly heat and burst, and separates the tissue as the loop wire moves through the cervix.
