There is no such thing as "mild Cervical cancer". If leep was performed, it is more likely the woman had a precancerous lesion. This is very common, and will not progress to cancer if regular PAP exams are given.
Yes, the patient can still have kids.
If you're having a LEEP, you probably already had a cervical biopsy that did not show cancer. It is unlikely that the LEEP biopsy will show cancer. In the unlikely event that it does, your health care provider will talk to you about appropriate options, which, again, are likely to be minimal since you were considered a LEEP candidate (i.e. thought not to have cancer) in the first place. Please call your health care provider today to put your mind at ease regarding this question.
They are much lower than if you hadn't had the LEEP and HPV vaccine, but I don't know of any studies that can suggest a percentage risk for your situation.
If you had cancer due to HPV, you had part or all of your cervix removed. Pregnancy is not possible if all of the cervix was removed. If you did not go to the hospital and have this major surgery under general anesthesia, you did not have cervical cancer; instead, you may have had cervical dysplasia treated with a LEEP. Contact your health care provider to get a clearer picture of your diagnosis and its affect on future fertility.
Yes, you can still get pregnant and have children after a LEEP.
A loop electrode excision procedure, or LEEP, is a procedure that uses electrical current to remove a thin layer of abnormal tissue from the cervix. It is a treatment for severe cervical dysplasia, which may eventually develop into cervical cancer.
First, LEEP does not treat cancer; it treats cervical dysplasia, or abnormal cells that may develop into cancer. It is possible to develop dysplasia again after a LEEP. Taking steps towards improving the health of your immune system can help: don't smoke, eat well, get enough rest and exercise, avoid excessive suntanning or binge drinking. Protect yourself when having sexual intercourse by avoiding having many partners and by using condoms. Consider getting the HPV immunization series. All of these things can help your body to take care of any abnormal cells that may develop.
Cervical cancer is a serious medical condition that requires evidence-based medical interventions. The standard treatments for cervical cancer, which have been extensively researched and proven effective, include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapies, and immunotherapies. These treatments are recommended by qualified medical professionals based on the individual's specific case, cancer stage, and overall health. While Ayurveda may offer supportive measures for overall well-being, claims of Ayurvedic treatments being the best or sole solution for cervical cancer should be approached with caution. It's important to prioritize evidence-based medical care and to consult with qualified healthcare professionals who specialize in oncology to determine the most appropriate and effective treatment plan for cervical cancer.
When the problem on the cervix is dysplasia, and not cancer, the risk of the hysterectomy outweighs the benefit.
Although pronounced "leap," the procedure is actually LEEP, or loop electrosurgical excision procedure. When performing LEEP, the doctor will use a loop electrode to remove a portion of the cervix. During LEEP, a high-intensity electrical current is passed through the loop-electrode, allowing the doctor to shave off a thin slice of cervical tissue. This slice of tissue can be examined under a microscope to check for abnormal cells, if the purpose of LEEP was diagnosis. LEEP can also be used to remove any tissue that may be found to be cancerous or pre-cancerous once it is found. A local anesthetic is administered to the patient before the procedure, and sometimes pain medication is prescribed to ease postoperative discomfort. This "growth" that the doctor is removing is a vague term. Most "growths" removed by this procedure will be determined to be what is called "cervical dysplasia." Cervical dysplasia is a term used to describe abnormal cells that are at high risk of becoming cancerous, but are not cancer yet. Whatever the results of microscopic evaluation, the problem is often cured by the L.E.E.P. Therefore, L.E.E.P. is both a biopsy and a removal of the abnormal tissue (a cure if you will) all at once. Avoid tampons and sex for four weeks after procedure. One of the side effects of LEEP procedure is inability for the cervix to dilate during labor for childbirth, greatly increasing a woman's chance of c-section. There are alternative medicines available for cervical dysplasia.
I have hpv and have even had to have a LEEP procedure, but have had 3 healthy children and am pregnant again.
The purpose of the LEEP is to essentially "shave" off the bad cells, and cause new ones to grow. The time is needed to help the cervix heal from the procedure, and give the cervix a chance to grow healthy cells.
No, you wait until the pregnancy has ended, and then have the LEEP.
