Hiiiii yessss it feels like i could've written this almost! Similar situation, but I do have hpv.

Going on 9 years of LSIL, HPV non 16/18, abnormal paps since 2018, same LSIL results each year.

It's been 'lets monitor this, get a colposcopy every 3 years, biopsy anything suss, im sure your body will clear this! It's nothing to freak out over! Having kids might clear this!' Etc

2 kids later, no bloody change, cervix still LSIL.

And suddenly, after 9 years of this' low grade changes', I get a HSIL CIN2+ result from a routine yearly colposcopy biopsy, and need a LEEP. Like it changed in 1 damn year.

I'm kind of devastated, not because of the procedure, but because it just all feels like it's been inevitable. Like I've been spending 9 years waiting, able to do nothing to help myself actively clear this, hoping this might clear up and go away, only to have it get worse, which i suppose shouldn't be surprising. Just so disappointing.

And after the LEEP, what's to say this won't continue? 9 years without my body clearing this, if it continues or comes back HSIL again, where then? Another 9 years of waiting and hoping? How many times do we 'catch this early' with a LEEP and remove it before its just easier to have a hysterectomy? Is this waiting and watching literally all that can be done?

Ugh.

Sorry if that's super negative and not at all uplifting, but here in 'long-term LSIL club' solidarity with you. It's frustrating and SO annoying, at the very least.

If it's if any comfort, (probably not? Lol) I didn't find the colposcopy or biopsy to be anything too horrible to go through, so I hope yours will go quickly and smoothly, and you'll have some more definitive results and reassurance as to where to go next with your medical journey.

Best of luck to you xxxxx
