I have recently been diagnosed with severe CIN 3 abnormal cells - I have undergone a colposcopy with biopsy and have now had a cone biopsy and laser ablation. I thought I was done but have now received a letter saying that despite the treatment I had done they can't guarantee it's gone and recommend a further procedure. I am assuming they are talking about a hysterectomy?

Has anyone else had the above treatment and been offered any other type of procedure that I may not be aware of?

I'm in my 50s, so it's not like I'm likely to be needing my womb but I'm still freaking out about the after-effects to my health, my lifestyle (fit active gym freak), and what happens if the HPV comes back and I don't have a cervix or womb?
