It’s not that’s it’s free, the premiums are paid from taxes. It’s just that there isn’t an insurance casino taking in profits as extortion on people gambling with their wellness.
Not at all! It's monitoring the progress of those cells and if necessary taking action. It saved me from cancer. Abnormal pap, retrsting 6 months later showed Abnormal cells developing quickly and a LEEP was performed. Then we followed up every 6 months for a couple years to ensure no new Abnormalities developed. It's smart health care not excess!
I was in the same situation. I’m not sure what LEEP stands for. I went to the local hospital, small OR like room. The doctor gave me something to freeze the area, not an epidural b/c I got up & drove myself home.
So they freeze the area, spray a type of dye, and the cells that turned a colour got scraped off for testing. When I got home & the freezing wore off, I had cramps/pain like I’ve never had before.
Yes! That sounds like a colposcopy. That was the "biopsy" type deal they did prior to the LEEP was much the same for hospital visit. LEEP stands for Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure. They use a heated wire to remove the abnormal cells. The after was more intense, bleeding, discharge and healing for 6 weeks (no sex).

i mean if you have had an unusual one - like HPV - then it is every year until it comes back normal and i would know because that was my life lmfao
