I am due to have a leep procedure done within 1 week, and I was wondering if I could be put to sleep for the procedure, I am scared, and very nervous. I experience a full discomfort in my lower abdomen quite often. I was also concerned if having the procedure done at the clinic was a good idea or should I ask for a refferal to the hospital to have the procedure done. I don't have a clue how painful it is ???? :|
