I just did my Leep.
Took like 10 minutes and we were done. Didn’t feel any pain and when we were done I was shock. Was waiting to scream or something but nothing like that happened.
Was Diagnosed with HSIL - CIN2-3.
If you are currently panicking like I did I will say, go for the Leep procedure. I kept asking myself why I was panicking before.
If you have done a colposcopy and biopsy, the leep procedure experience is way easier.
I took paracetamol 1 hour to my procedure- this might have helped me too.
I also had my AirPod on and played music while the procedure was going on. The nurse did try to distract me, when they wanted to put the local anaesthesia, telling me to breathe in and out which helped because I didn’t feel anything.
The only uncomfortable thing was the speculum which is normal when something is entering your vagina but the moment they started didn’t feel anything anymore.
She also showed me the paste like thing she was going to apply and told me it might fall off at some point and I shouldn’t panic if I see it.
Nothing inside the vagina for 6 weeks. She said I will see a little spotting for now and might see fresh blood in 2 weeks. If any weird thing happens I can reach out back.
Looking forward to the healing journey (6weeks) and I hope it goes smoothly.
