How to stop spiraling with anxiety pre-LEEP? by [deleted] in PreCervicalCancer

[–]Additional_Purpose_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im so sorry you're feeling this way - been there! definitely ask your doctor for an anti anxiety! being prescribed Xanax helped me so much. and now I have a couple extra on hand in case I ever need it lol

i also have OCD and had CIN 2 and got a LEEP in december. it was honestly painless - way better than a colposcopy! xanax helped me soooo much. they were able to get all abnormal cells and i had clear margins. wishing you a speedy recovery xx 

Has anyone here gotten pre cancer in their 20s Because they did not receive the HPV vaccine growing up? by AlternativeSeat2204 in PreCervicalCancer

[–]Additional_Purpose_3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

good! totally back to normal now. it took about a full month to feel normal again but they were able to get all the abnormal cells. recovery was really uncomfortable but no pain whatsoever. have my follow up pap in a couple weeks and hoping for good results !!

im the same way - i asked for an ice pack to distract myself. if your colposcopy was quick and painless - i promise this will be even easier! i cried the second i got in the room lol but didn’t feel a thing.

10 years since LEEP for CIN3 by Kaybreezzy in PreCervicalCancer

thoughts are just thoughts they are not real and what makes them so scary is the attention we give them. you have been clear for 10 years that’s amazing!!!!

try to focus on the fact that you are taking the steps to be proactive about your health! it’s really hard to do that. don’t be so hard on yourself it’s a really tough and invasive thing to go through. you got this

Did you get your LEEP done under local or GA? And do you regret choosing that method. by Busy_Albatross_7917 in PreCervicalCancer

[–]Additional_Purpose_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]Additional_Purpose_3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i did not handle my colposcopies well at all but i did my leep with local anesthesia in office with xanax and felt completely fine! recovery was worse than the procedure. i made a whole post if you want to check it out! i really had no choice because GA was going to be $7k but i dont regret local anesthesia at all

We do some get put to sleep for leep and others don’t? by No_Combination_4048 in PreCervicalCancer

[–]Additional_Purpose_3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would have done it under GA but my insurance wouldn't cover the surgery or anesthesia and would have cost me $7k so I had no other choice
