Serious Risk of Cancer and Treating Cervical Displasions Posted: 02-12-06 15:50pm
I was diagnosed with hpv when I was 17 and
too fresh to listen to anyone..
Well now I have cin 1 and 2 present on my
cervix. This was a recent development and
the doctors told me I need a cone biopsy
to diagnose whats going on in my ecc ( the
cervical canal)
the side effects oif the biposy is that
there is a chance that I may not get
pregnant, though its a low chance thats
one im not willing to take.
I have also done research which says that
these things can be resolved by the immune
system, but what are the chances? Is it a
sure fact?
my problem is sis that I am scared out of
my wits that this can progress to cancer,
however I refuse to get the cone biopsy
done, its just not an option does anyone
have any advice for a 22 year old with no
children??
Don’t wait for your immune system to
solve the problem! The immune system may
succeed in defeating HPV-infection but it
can’t repair the damage caused by
infection-displasia(CIN). HPV types 16 and
18 are considered very dangerous for
cancer development. Displasions(CIN 1,2
and 3) are considered precancerous and
must be treated. CIN 3 is treated by a
cone-like amputation (cone-biopsy) of the
cervix. CIN 1 and 2 may be treated with
local destruction of the displastic
lesions (diatermocoagulation,
crio-therapy, CO2-laser coagulation), but
only if a lesion is located on the
outer-cervix. Further, cervical curettage
is required to exclude CIN-presence in the
cervical canal. If CIN lesions are
present in the cervical canal, the
curettage itself is a therapeutic
procedure. After treatment, you will have
to monitor your gynecological health every
6 months with Pap-smear. You will then be
asked to undergo a colposcopia for the
next 2 years. If CIN-1 or 2 report is
repeated, you will have to be treated with
a cone biopsy.
