Hello doctor,
I had a LEEP procedure done due to high-risk lesions. The results came back negative for pre-cancerous cells. What else can cause high-risk cervical lesions? The issue occurred approximately five years back and has not gone away. I underwent other procedures like a Pap test and biopsy. I am taking medications for non-related illnesses such as bipolar, ADHD, and anxiety.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to iclinq.com.
High-risk cervical lesions, also known as cervical dysplasia, are abnormal cells found on the cervix that can potentially turn into cervical cancer if left untreated. The most common cause of high-risk cervical lesions is infection with certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV). Other factors that may increase the risk of cervical dysplasia include:
However, it is important to note that having a high-risk cervical lesion does not necessarily mean that you will develop cervical cancer. In your case, the LEEP (loop electrosurgical excision procedure) removed the abnormal cells, and the pathology report showed a negative for precancerous cells. Regular screenings and follow-up care with your gynecologist will help ensure that any future changes or abnormalities are detected early.
Thank you.
