If you have CIN2 or CIN3

If your doctor does find moderate to severe lesions in your cells, she will likely recommend something called a LEEP (Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure). You can read all about it here, but put simply, it removes the problematic cells. It is extremely effective, takes little time, and can be done with or without anesthesia. Though, many women with whom I’ve spoken who had this done without anesthesia recommend, in retrospect, going under, because it’s very important to stay still during the procedure. That can be hard to do if you’re nervous for any reason (like the reason of, oh, you know, precancerous cells being taken off your cervix).
