I just had same problem and repeated my smear through private it came back severe cin3 with clear cervix. I was recommended loop procedure as well. No date booked and no more details. I am a nervous wreck. Like you I have mental instability because I have been through a lot recently and it is neverending. I battle this on my own . From what I read and heard from other ladies, once you have this procedure it should clear the cells so they don't turn to cancer. The whole procedure is to prevent cancer, not find it. I read all sorts myself and my head is the size of a balloon. I was not told what the care is after if I can have a baby or anything.  I will ring this phone line and speak to someone competent.

Hi

Sorry to read that you are so worried, I just want to give you a little reassurance, I was diagnosed with severe cin3 when I was in my late 20's, I had the leep procedure and had quite a big area of cervix removed.  once it all healed, i had another smear 3 months later and no abnormalities were found.  I am now 55 years old, have had regular smears and never had any problems.  So yes, the procedure does work.  I cannot answer the question regarding children, as I never had any.

Good luck

Annie

God bless ! Thank you for the kind words. The first nurse who has been dealing with my smears for the past 18 months has been rough, unpleasant and unsimpathetic. She even got her hands on my private results and been trying to persuade me in having my procedure with her which I find uncomfortable. I have decided to go privately if I have to. Thank you for your kind words.
