Colposcopies forever?
EDIT TO CLARIFY: Colposcopies with punch biopsy
Exhusband gave me HPV ("I never cheated...") I got diagnosed four years ago, and last year I had an abnormal pap and have to have a colposcopy. It was a bit traumatic for me as I have a sensitive cervix and they refused me any anesthetic other than "take ibuprofen an hour before" It was so, so bad (and I've had 4 knee surgeries)
Thankfully it came back benign.
This year I went in for my pap. I had this visceral response as soon as I walked into the waiting room, and ended up crying through my whole appointment. Had the pap, and it came back abnormal again.
I honestly don't know how I'm going to do it again. At what point will they just take out my cervix? Do I just get these yearly pap smears and biopsies until it finally comes back as cancer?
I have been asking for a total hysterectomy for years.now due to PCOS and endometriosis. Will this finally tip things in my favor?
