Questions about the LEEP procedure?

I am going in for a LEEP in the morning and I am very worried about it. I have read everything that I can about what happens, but what nothing really says is how does the woman REALLY feel afterwards? They say you will feel a quick pinch, they said that about the colposcopy too and the first colposcopy I had hurt horribly... how bad is it afterwards? Do you just have cramping or are you really sore down there?

hi there I just had that done about 3 months ago! I think that you have so many things going on! For my the worst thing was the numbing part!! I went home and rested the rest of that day! the next day was not that bad. but it was not great! i did not have cramping! I think that the colposcopy was worse! Make sure that you have Advil or something to take right after the leep! once the numbing is done you really don't fell anything! Watch out with the numbing you will get a rush it only fells weird for a min or two! if you have any other questions please ask!!

Cervical cells do regenerate after a LEEP system and is is feasible so that you can once more have precancerous cells. Your physician can inform you extra abour what their subsequent step could be, however one of the most choices comprise a further LEEP, cryosurgery. Carrying a youngster after having a LEEP system normally is not a crisis. There is an excessively small hazard of getting an incompetent cervix after this, however there could also be the hazard of the cervix being more potent for the reason that of the formation of scar tissue from the LEEP. It is uncomfortable after the system however commonly similar to dangerous menstrual cramps. It is not so dangerous throughout the system for the reason that they use nearby anesthesia (comparable to lidocaine like a dentist makes use of for a filling). Your physician will inform you what they advocate approximately how quickly you'll have intercourse however such a lot medical professionals advocate pelvic leisure (no intercourse, tampons, or some thing else within the vagina) for four to six weeks. I need to disagree with the opposite poster approximately your cervix now not being regarding fertility. Your cervix is what's in charge for generating cervical mucous that is what enable sperm to reside lengthy sufficient to arrive the egg. If you do not produce sufficient cervical mucous or what's produced is antagonistic to sperm, your probabilities of conceiving will also be decreased. It is many times endorsed to take an expectorant comparable to Robitussin across the time of ovulation if you're looking to conceive and having issues with lowered cervical mucous as it will develop and skinny secretions within the whole frame (adding the cervix) main to an expanded hazard of notion. Good success.
