leep

[ays303]

Hello,

I am 28 years old. I had leep to due to CIM2 and CIN3 four months before.2,8x2,5x1,5 cm was taken by the leep. Can cervix regrow to its size before leep? Is the piece taken too much? I want to be pregnant five months later so I am afraid of having a short cervix.
Thanks for your help.

No, the cervix will not regenerate or regrow to its original size just as you would not expect your finger to regrow. You will also have nerve function impairment of the cervix.  Yes, cervical incompetence is one of the major problems with this surgery along with sexual dysfunction and pain with intercourse. So sorry to hear that you did not know of your HPV strain as the LEEP may not have been necessary.  There are also other options like freezing or watchful waiting. Women have different size cervix. You may also have more severe cramping. Other problems with the LEEP is that you are more prone to infections in the uterus with this amount of tissue removed, incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, cramping, and bleeding. After you are finished with child bearing, it sounds as if your doctor will want to do a hysterectomy. There is never a need for this procedure unless you have cancer. Never have these surgeries as a preventative that you might get cancer. How did the doctor know to remove this much tissue? Unless you had strain 16 or 18 of HPV, why did you even have a LEEP.? The statistical odds are very low. Always insist on a non-surgical option.

Yes, your body will heal the cervix area naturally rebuilding the new cells and you wouldn't have any pregnancy issues due to this procedure...
