Are Leep And Colpostomy Safe Procedures?
Had cold knife 6 months ago. Recent pap came back high grade. Had biopsy which came back negative yesterday. My doctor wants to do a leep and a more invasive colpostomy this thursday in an outpatient surgical setting due to this high difference in test results. I am 53 years old. does this sound like a good plan of action. I was cin111 prior to cone.

Hello mam , in my opinion at your age you should opt for hysterectomy or if you want to preserve your uterus then colpostomy which is less invasive than hysterectomy but more than LEEP. take care and all the best.
