Hello, i am a 34 year old mother of two boys. i recently had a biopsy done becuause i have hpv. the results of the biopsy were that i have infected cells on my cervix. the specialist recommended that i get a leepcone procedure done but i would like to have more children and am afraid to run the risk of miscarrages from the procedure. i know im not giving you alot to work with here but how long do you think i can put of the procedure before running a high risk of the cells becoming cancerous? i was told i could also end up getting cryotherapy. i was told depending on which one the insurance would be that would be the one i end up getting. i am really scared.
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor It is understandable to be scared. Though cervical cells can take a long time to transform from the initial changes to cancer, it would be best to have the procedure done when suggested by your doctor. There may be a slight increased risk of cervical incompetence (when the cervix opens during pregnancy) but this can be treated with a suture. The benefits of ensuring that there is no risk to cancer progression outweigh the risks. I hope this helps
