Gyn Visit
Gail,
Every year after my annual pap, the doctor always says that “no news is good
news.” They only call if there is a problem. Well, my most recent pap came
back
with abnormal cells. The colposcopy is where he uses a scope to take a closer
look at the cervix. He can use a solution to make any abnormal cells show up
better under the scope. The ECC is an endo cervical curettage. I’m not *sure*
but, I think that is a biopsy. I’m just hoping that the abnormal pap was just a
false positive. Every year I just dread going to the gynecologist. To me it is
the most uncomfortable thing in the world. I do it because I know how important
it is. The tests next Wednesday will be like a pap, just more intense. 
I
haven’t been really worried about it, just concerned. I’m more keyed up about
the
procedure than the results. Thanks for your concern.

Connie,
The same thing happened to me a few years back and I had the colposcopy with
biopsy and it turned out that I had an inflamed cervic. I was courterized(sp)
and that was the end of that. No problems since. Sometimes the abnormal cells
aren’t really abnormal at all….the pap is just one of the tools and that is
why they need to check it out further. What I am trying to say is try not to
worry. I now it isn’t easy but I will keep you in prayer.
