I am women who regularly visit my obstetricians and gynecologists for routine pelvic examinations and Pap tests. I know this is the best way for early discovering cancer or something like that. I know this disease is almost 100 percent curable when it is diagnosed in its early stages and treated promptly. That is why I always wanted to have Pap tests, so now my doctor saw there is something wrong. He recommended me LEEP procedure, but I would like to know what about having children afterwards.

Pap smear is the single most effective method for identifying irregularities in cervical cells that could develop into cancer. Loop electrocautery excision procedure known as LEEP, or conization is one way to treat problem discovered in Pap smear. This diagnostic procedure will involve a biopsy, which means removal for microscopic evaluation, of cervical tissue. A pelvic examination is also part of the diagnostic evaluation to determine whether there are any serious abnormalities in the pelvic region discovered during Pap smear. These two more extensive methods, LEEP and conization are methods to diagnose abnormal tissue, and commonly are used as treatments for CIN and early invasive cervical cancer. With LEEP, abnormal or suspicious cervical tissue is removed with a sharp wire loop and the site is cauterized. This means burned to eliminate any remaining abnormal tissue that was presented. Most doctors suggest conization only when other diagnostic tests have revealed cancerous abnormalities, while LEEP is more commonly performed. If your doctor recommended you LEEP I would say you should have it, while having children afterwards is on second place now, but it should not be problems because of this.
