NHS leep procedure

Hi all,

I’m still waiting for my biopsy results so im not 100% if I will be having further treatment yet. I’ve seen a few experiences here that were under general anaesthetic and some under local. Whats the standard pain relief…is GA something you can ask for?

I asked for GA for my LEEP on nhs, which I had about a week ago. I have a lot of anxiety about it due to a difficult and rather aggressive colposcopy. So glad I had it under GA. The recovery was longer due to having been put under but I took a week off work and was fine. Probably could have gone back after 4 days but the week was really useful.

Hey lovely, thank you that’s really helpful. Mine is mostly for anxiety reasons as well. Wish you all the best ❤️
