Hey all, hope you are doing okay.

Tried to search for any CGIN or as it said in my letter - 'glandular neoplasia - borderline changes in endocervical cells in conjunction with high-risk HPV' but I couldn't see anything posted about it, so thought I would jump on and say hello!I have been for my LLETZ on Monday morning, and boy was I brave.. You are all super heroes for having this done!!! I feel like they should give out stickers.

I'm not usually squeamish or shy/worried about getting my bits out to be looked at at any time (3 trainee midwives in with me during birth 13 years ago taught me there is no such thing as modesty) but I absolutely didn't dare look at the screen when she started injecting my cervix ready for taking the biopsy. Luckily for me, my husband came with and was fascinated and kept looking at the screen the whole time, told me afterwards all the gory details.

If you are worried about a LLETZ or LEEP, just to let you know I feel absolutely fine (Was done about 5 hours ago), was some shakes/racing heartbeat from the injections at the time but they have died down and now I have very minimal pain, enough that paracetamol works well.

I was just wondering with CGIN being Glandular if anyone has any success with an LLETZ or LEEP removing these cells? As from what I have 'doctor googled' about it myself, it is inside my cervix rather than on the surface?

I know I shouldn't google.... but I feel like I have to know everything about it seeing as its inside my bod?

For reference (if it helps) I had 3 smears that showed HPV from 2020 -2023, with the last one showing abnormal cells too. I was invited within 2 weeks for a colposcopy where they did the LLETZ there and then - No other symptoms apart from incredibly heavy periods most of my adult life.

Thanks so much (in advance) for any advice or support! The waiting around for results is tricky, but trying to keep my mind off it by spoiling myself with comfort food and trash TV!
