Lletz plus cin3 and hpv

Hi there I had cin3 in 2006 I had the laser now I have it again plus positive for high risk hpv I have the lletz this month. I have been for biopsies on my cervix which puzzled me when she said ohh we have caught it early. Caught what early... its worrying and my appointment is coming very fast. Since my brain knows the cells are there it seems to be sore bottom of my back aches pelvic pain. I'm getting no answers and do I have to wait on results after lletz as I thought that was it. 

  • Hi Godsake

    HPV causes the abnormal cells which is the CIN3, but this is not cancer-so perhaps that’s what she meant by saying caught it early. The abnormalities at CIN3 are still pre cancerous. The tissue taken at the lletz needs to be sent to pathology to be analysed to make sure as a precaution that there are no cancerous cells, so you will have to wait for results after the lletz to confirm that everything has been taken with clean margins-ie they have removed all abnormal cells. Good luck with your procedure!
