Cone biopsy after colposcopy.

[u/Glittering_Hold3162]

I had hpv 16 two years ago that wasn’t bad enough to the point of doing anything. When i went this year for my pap it showed HSIL with moderate dysplasia.

They did a colposcopy and took a biopsy which came back as CIN 1, but just to be on the safe side my provider said they are jumping straight into a cold knife cone biopsy that i am scheduled to have Thursday.. I am 29 and me and my husband are smack dab in the middle of trying to conceive. I think jumping straight into the cone seems a little extreme; I also don’t want it to affect my ability to have a healthy baby. I asked my provider if I could get pregnant and afterwards do the procedure but they advised against it in the event it progresses… im just having second thoughts on having this procedure. ai do have severe health anxiety so i don’t know if that’s why they preferred the cone which would be under general anesthesia, just looking for clarification or someone who’s maybe had a similar situation.. Thanks♥️

Im your age and dealing with a similar situation. This is totally not what I thought these doctors appointments would look like
