vaginapagina | Scared about next pap smear (Reply)

Hey everybody,

Last year I had my first pap smear. The results came back as LSIL..they did further testing and said that the cervical changes I had were mild and they didn't need to do any procedures, just a repeat pap in 6 months. They told me to quit smoking and take vitamins, and like an idiot, I have done neither of these things. My next pap is coming up in May and now I'm kicking myself in the ass for not putting more effort into helping myself get better. Now, I know smoking causes cervical changes to progress faster..but, does anyone know how fast hpv/cervical changes progress? Have any of you guys had a repeat pap in 6 months and things were much worse? I just really don't want to end up having LEEP done or anything like that, although I know it's a possibility..I'm just scared. Anyone have any info/experiences? Thanks so much for reading this!!
