You all seem so helpful that I thought I'd give my question a try here.
My name is Anna, I'm 23 years old and I have high-risk HPV. In July of '09 I had cryosurgery to remove CIN III/CIS dysplasia from my cervix. I got a follow-up Pap in January of '10 and now have CIN I/CIN II on my cervix. The doctor reccommended either LEEP or cryo again. I have some serious hesitation about LEEP because I eventually want to have children and LEEP can compromise the ability to carry a baby to term. If anything, I would do cryo again, but I'm wondering if multiple bouts of cryo can cause scarring as well? I'd really just like to wait it out and keep up with Paps every 6 months since cervical cancer progresses very slowly. Is it more difficult to remove the dysplasia if it's severe rather than mild/moderate? I just don't want to have all of these procedures done on my cervix - I'm terrified that I won't be able to have children! (Not to mention that the first cryosurgery I had was EXTREMELY painful for me...)
Thank you so much for your time. I sincerely appreciate any comments.
