Cervical Dysplasia

My Pap last year showed mild inflammatory changes–I was given a medication for that. Then this year my pap showed moderate to severe dysplasia. Just had the colposcopy and 4 biopsies yesterday.

I had colpo done yesterday (I've had 4 so far) but this time the Doc took four samples. I didn't have any pain medication or local anesthesia, he just went ahead and did it. I was wondering why it hurt so bad! and this time, in fact, the colpo seemed to burn or felt irritated in there. I thought I was going to pass out on the table. I have to wait two weeks as well, and go see him for the results. I was in too much pain to even care about results, but today I am reading everything on the internet about it and maybe alittle concerned now. I don't want to have to go through this for the rest of my life! all the treatments are effective seemingly until it comes back, and since it is a virus I am thinking it is useless to do anything since it will just show up again somewhere else, or whatever. Even with a hysterectomy I read that it can show up in the vagina, or vulva. I am feeling a little mad, complacent, and maybe a little concerned. I just don't want to have this anymore. but I don't want an operation either.
