Don't Know What to Do Update... Posted: 09-12-03 16:09pm
Ok I found out what is going on inside of
my body.. My doctor told me that I have
hpv. When they did test 2 years ago the
cells multipled with in 2 months. So they
want to do a cone something.. Which means
they take a big piece of my cervix out to
see if it has cervical cancer. So that
means it is going to hurt.... My doctor
told me that if it is real bad I might
have to have a histurecomy. That will
suck, except for the part that my periods
wont come again. The other thing I was
wanting to now is has anyone ever had this
done. I do not have any medical covrage
at this time and it looks like it will be
awhile. So what I want to now is what
kind of money $ should I expect.....
See working in the medical field does not
all ways pay off.... Thank you guys.

I am a new user so I am not sure about the
background you gave earleir about your
problem.
But I had a cone biopsy in 1997.
Basically, a cone shaped piece of your
cervix is cut out during surgery.
This bit is taken to pathology lab to
determine how serious the problem is.
Sometime the infected part ends up being
cut out completely.
Only if the damege is extensive do you
then have your uterus taken out.
If all seems clear, life goes on as normal
only that you have to have pap smears
every 6 months for the next 1 year then
annually after that.
The only problem is that you can never use
an inter uterine device nethod of
contraceptives and never have a normal
vaginal delivery, only c-sections as your
cervix will never contract due to the
scarring from the op. You will also need
to have a stitch put in when pregnant to
prevent miscarriage.
Not to worry much as I am having the
second child after the cone biopsy.
I hope the info has been of help to you.

Haha Rosa What R U Talking About? Posted: 10-26-03 23:19pm
I hade a cone done thank god it wasent
cancer!! But I got pregnant one mth after
it I carried just fine and no you do not
have to have a c-section just b/c of the
surgery!! Your cervix heels faster than
any other part of your body as for the
stitch that is if you have had multiple
freezes which weekens your cervix not a
cone!! And the uterine device?? That was
weird who is your doc?? Sorry but you
should be just fine after and normal and
it does not hurt at all only the biopsy
botherd me very weird!! After I was done
I was fine just a little cramp!!

Help!!! Posted: 11-01-03 15:15pm
I had my paps done about 3 years ago and
the doctor said I had irregular cells. I
has diagnosed with hpv about 4 months ago.
The doctor told me that I need to have a
biopsy done but I never went back. I am
waiting for my medical insurance to clear
coverage. I am not a doctor person but
when I get pain down there it's
unbearable. I get warts and they hurt.
The doctor said they usually don't hurt
but since it hurts that badly she
recommends that I get checked asap, I get
spotting, pain so bad that I can hardly
walk, is it really bad? Does anyone else
get these symptoms?
