My biopsy was horrific the cramps were terrible. If a man had to have a biopsy done in his private area he would be given a local anasthetic but us women are meant to just take the pain which is cruel.
So sorry to hear the horror you were put through Kirsty. My sister had a colposcopy which she described as horrendous. No cancer thankfully. I think you are absolutely right that men would be treated very differently. No wonder the medical profession is seen as sexist. And I have seen gynaeocologists referred to as sadists/misogynists.
Maybe why we were not given anaesthesia could be we need to cough few times when the doctor told us to do it during the procedure although I don’t see a logic to it. I’m a coward and afraid of anything like that. I had colposcopy done 4 hours ago . Took ibuprofen one hour before that . To be honest, it’s not comfortable but it’s worth to know very early what’s going on with me and was told it’s Cin1 . Im home and laying down as it’s sore and cramps still but was told it be gone after 2-3 days. I’m schedule in three weeks to see my doctor again and have the action plan.
Men are asymptomatic carriers of HPV and there is currently no screening for them only women. When women contract the virus that's when the further testing, procedures and hysterectomies begin.
Ladies! I’ve just had my first Colposcopy and Biopsy and even though some women may have different experiences, I did not feel a thing, I actually asked if she’d done it yet and as for afterwards I have no cramping or pain.
Update Just had the laser treatment today as the biopsy matched my irregular smear test and also barely felt a thing! I hope that puts anyone about to go for there’s mind at rest, a little.

Just got one done today. The vinegar stings a bit, but it was tolerable on my end. It felt uncomfortable when they remove pieces of tissue. Felt like hard pinching. Had to close my eyes tightly here and there cause of the pain. The swab in the end was the worst for me. I squeezed my own hand and teared up. Felt very very uncomfortable and it just hurt! Hang in there ladies!
Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm scheduled for 1/30 and freaking out. I've tossed and turned thinking about it and want to reschedule and think about it. I keep thinking about the pain! I just wish that I could be sedated so I'm unaware of what's happening. I've been told that I could have laughing gas. I've never had it before, but I think I may request it.

You should have described how exactly biopsies are taken and how much each method might hurt. Also, how many is the average and that it’s best to take a pain reliever prior.
This video is so super helpful! I just had this procedure done for the first time today. I was so so nervous after some of the research I'd done and bad experiences I read about! Thankfully I really did not feel what the Dr was doing. She walked me through every step of the process which I thought was helpful and I only felt some discomfort and cramping right after biopsy samples were taken. I took 400mg ibuprofen and a xanax she prescribed before the apt. I ate really well all day and made sure I was hydrated, too. I'm sure this all helped a lot 🙏 Stressing ourselves out is probably one of the worst parts :(
Thank you for this video! I had my colposcopy today and it went really well :) no pain or cramping- didn’t feel much different than a regular Pap smear. Remember everyone we all have different pain receptors so take everyone’s personal experiences (and my own) with a grain of salt. Deep breathing and trying to stay relaxed is key ❤ we got this!
great video! I had my first colpo done yesterday! My OBGYN told me not to Google the procedure because it might bring on more anxiety to having it done. However I wish I would've seen this video first. My only suggestion would be for to have seen the instruments you use for the removal of cells. My OBGYN used multiple circular scrub brushes to scrape cells off the cervix and that was the first time ever that I saw that. It was as if she was manually drilling into one spot of the cervix with each brush from big to small.
Thanks 🙏🏽 I watched your video before my colposcopy this morning. It helped me not have anxiety as bad as I would have .Everything was just what you said so I was prepared. My doctor was wonderful and explained everything but of course I already knew because I watched your video. It didn’t hurt. I could feel the pinch when she took the biopsies. It really was not as bad as I had made it up in my mind to be. They told me to take some ibuprofen 45 minutes before I come, but I’m old-school so I took some aspirin . so far I haven’t cramped at all after my colposcopy I do have some discharge but I think it may be from the stuff she used .
I had an abnormal pap smear 2 years ago. My Gynecologist office called it a "LEEP ." It actually came up on a computer so I could see what was going on. I didn't feel comfortable looking at it. This year I have a repeat pap smear and the "LEEP" It's amazing what medical science has come along
@@brittneyr1128 Hi Makayla, I try to make it simple for you the reason I had the Leep was because I had an abnormal pap test. It's a small procedure your gynecologist she or he will do in the office. It's like you go for your annual check up. You get in a gown with the bottom half covered with sheet. You put you feet in the stirrups and numb you up with a vinegar solution.. Then she or he will insert the speculam in and it is a very small tube they insert to take your uterus.. And take pictures of it. When then my doctor did this procedure. It didn't take to long but a little painful. You may have spotting so bring a a pad with you or you may have a grainy discharge..When she or he are finished with you exam you are tdld to slid up on the exam table and then sit up. They will give you something for pain. You have to wait until the nurse comes back to give you your pain medicine. Then you can get dressed. I had someone drive me. I was scared to drive my self. If you have any questions about the procedure before you give your doctor the consent to do it you have to sign a piece of paper. Ask all the questions about the procedure you want. Write them down. It's helpful for you if you don't understand what she or he is saying, there will be a doctor and a medical assistant with you at all time. Three most important things to remember. Empty your bladder Wiggle your toes, it will relax you during the procedure Take slow deep breaths..In and out. I hope this helps you.. And my best of luck to you during your procedure and I will be praying for you. Nancy 🙏🙏🙏
@@brittneyr1128 And watch the video on RUclips. It will explain everything to you or just act your doctor before you get the procedure done. Best of luck. Nancy. 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you Dr. Ali. I’m a CMA doing my externship at an OBGYN office. I appreciate your time and information in putting this video together. It was of great help 😊
Let's talk about pain relief and lots of it if you suffer with anxiety like me. I've got one coming up but only with lots of pain relief and a lot of drugs
Thank you for this video my obgyn sent this and it helped me prepare for my procedure I’m nervous and ready to see what’s going on with me and get things going.
If application of the acetic acid doesn't draw out any abnormal cells, does that mean the patient just needs to do a follow-up Pap smear within 6 months?
Call every doctor until you find one that will use pain management. Alkalized lidocaine in a high enough dose to actually numb your cervix. If your doctor tells you your cervix doesn't have any nerves RUN. It does and you know that. You deserve pain management. It only took 45 sec to lance an infection on my finger but they used lidocaine. Why wouldn't they do the same on your cervix? It's barberic.
Just had my third colpo today, and the pain has varied so much between all the procedures. Had biopsies with all three, first one barely hurt at all, second one was a little uncomfy, today’s was brutal. I have a super high pain tolerance and it still sucked. Been cramping and sore all day. Just goes to show that even in the same person the level of pain can vary. I’m sure it’s affected by anxiety about the procedure, but man if we could get even a little lidocaine spray or something it would be awesome.
I would rather have a 10 lb baby ,my colposcopy was so painful i thought i was going to throw up it was so painful and all my Gyno said is she couldn't get a sample because my 2 nd leep procedure has scars so bad couldnt get any sample . So now what ??? I was cramping so bad it lasted 4 days and bleeding. And now im worried, should i get 2nd opinion???? Im devastated im 69 years old and felt like because im old she didn't care. Im scheduled for another pap smear in 1 year. I wish i had you for my Gyno. Your very nice .😊
That's terrible (and terribly frightening). Did they offer the procedure under anesthesia? I asked about pain management and told the NP I was nervous, she recommended to do it under anesthesia.
Thank you soo much for this video! I have been having soo much pelvic pain for the last year and a half… I just got a pap about a month ago and it’s pre cancerous cells. My PCM said he thinks we should wait a year. To redo the pap but I’m so scared to wait. I’ve been having so much pain almost everyday and randomly spotting. I hope I can have the right words to express my concern and that the doctor listens to me. I have had a friend that did a LEEP so I would so appreciate you making a video for that! 💕💕 thanks again for all the info!!!
Very informative thank you. If you re-watch the vid as a newbie...(red flags 🎌) Door is open and table paper is shredded; the room is not properly prepped.
I just got it done and im in sooo much pain… and im bleeding alot like if i just got my period really heavy 😭 and found out I have some small cysts 😢im so sad
I’m so so scared my papsmare test were negative during pregnancy 🤰 I had delivered my baby already I’m scheduled to do Colpo tomorrow to confirm any abnormalities I’m so scared it could be cancer 😢😭😭
@@StanieMaba don’t worry everything will be fine you will see! My test came back normal . It was just the pap smear that came back abnormal and my colpo was good. 🤞🏼 you will get good news trust me .
Great vidoe , I had same problem HPV in high level and I did colposcopy 3 years agon, After that treatment Iam not like before , I have discharge dark brown or dark black every month 5 days before period . I had scan every thing normal but I dont know about this doscharge .
So why wouldn't you do a colposcopy at the same time/same patient visit as PAPA test? Wouldn't you want to know if there are changes to the cervix tissue before taking smear for PAPA test? And from where to take it? (Colposcopy without biopsy)
Because identifying a cancer cells is not what regular physician can do, physician can take a pap but not identify cancerous cells on the cervix, they usually refer you to a specialist OBGYN who is also gynaecological surgeon.
@@vkrgfan I'm not from the US (have that in mind), but why wouldn't you just directly go to the OBGYN for regular checkups where they do see abnormalities with the use of colposcope and do PAPA smear or biopsy from the exact place that the changes are? Why would a regular physician even look at you? PAPA tests results are reliable only when taken from the right place, so without specialist being the one doing complete exam and seeing risk factors, it's basically useless. And the whole exam is done in no time, it's not like you spend an hour wasting OBGYN's time...
@@minazivkovic8816 idk about people who have established care, but for me, I had a normal physical do my pap at the school health center and referred me to an actual obgyn who had the full tools to get it done and test for other things. I need the referral so my health insurance doesn’t charge me thousands. I think healthcare in the US is not easy to navigate and further made difficult through insurance issues
I had an abnormal pap on 5/8 with high risk HPV positive results. This is the first abnormal pap I've ever had. I'm 45. I had an endometrial biopsy a few years ago and it was very painful. I have a colposcopy coming up in a couple weeks. This will be the first time I've had it done and I'm nervous and scared it's going to hurt. Is it painful having it done?
i’ve seen about half and half sayinf it was barely anything to it was the worst pain in their life and my friend has even had a baby and said it was extremely painful
Thank you so much for this informative video. Do you have any insight on risks of a colposcopy? I’m mainly concerned about cervical stenosis, inability to carry a baby full-term, inability to deliver naturally, etc.
I stopped my severe endo pain with a paleo diet. I did the "Whole 30" and my terrible cramps (+bladder and digestive issues) dropped. Since then I've learned that dairy (especially cheese 😢) and sugars (even in breads, pastas, cereals) significantly increase my pain. It took 100% restriction, not just avoidance to make this dramatic difference. I know for some it's challenging, but so worth it to get your life back (skin, energy, brain health all improved as well)! I went from taking high dose ibuprofen for 7+ days to maybe one day of a natural cramp bark formula by Vitanica. Usually, I don't even take that. Magnesium glycinate is another great supplement for calming cramps and helping to decrease prostaglandins.
@@kittykat1448 I canceled mine out.. there is way too many women that had this done and says that it's extremely painful.. Doctors and nurses always downplay how painful a procedure really is so that you get it done.. I didn't want to be in pain for days after, I didn't want bleeding and discharge for days afterwards as well, and I didn't want chunks taken out.. Do research on what on your doctor told you if you have 16/18 and 45 then you basically have no choice in getting it done. And if your pap came back Lsil or Hsil then the same thing you gave no choice.. All doctors follow guidelines in scheduling different tests and etc. For me I feel like I can hold off until next year and get a repeat pap, and HPV test and if things change then I'll have to get one done.
i would say ur not gonna do the biopsy without meds or put to sleep. or just do the scope and go to another doctor who will give u meds, and usually hpv goes away within a year or two so at ur next pap if its still irregular maybe then look into
@@ava_adamsg are you replying to me? If so I already know about HPV going away on it's own. I already know about my results and I have planned my own way to go about them which was to redo the pap and the HPV test this year then go from there if it shows up worse results. The doctor that I did have well she isn't my doctor anymore, her choice not mine. Thanks..
Even though it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be, it was some what traumatic seeing the tools and the weird pain. The first biopsy was easy just felt like a period cramp and they had to take a second one which I’m sure was a bigger sample and it hurt like bad period cramps as well as pinching and burning, tugging and aching. Also I’m having really annoying itching/burning and I’m not sure if it’s from the solution they used ? I heard nothing of this in the side effects aftercare. I don’t want to do this shit ever againnnnn ugh just happy I got it over with. They only left the numbing cream on for a couple seconds so I’m sure it didn’t do anything
Can you do a video about colposcopy while pregnant and biopsy. I’m so scared. Idk if I want to wait after pregnancy or do it while pregnant. Only because I was reading hpv could be transmitted while delivering and the baby could have hpv in the throat and treatment must be done.
Hi I just love your videos. I am a new registered nurse on the labor and delivery floor. I would love if you could do a FHR Reading and interpretation and possibly protocols or interventions from OBGYN perspective.PLEASE and Thank you so much!
Loved the information! Still waiting on my dr. for more information about my abnormal pap, how long should I wait for my Gyn office to reach out, or should I just call and inquire? Also, your hair looks amazing.
Idk “mild cramping” was pretty intense. It was hard for me to drive home after and sleeping that night was not happening due to the cramping. Sad this is “mild.” I have a high pain tolerance too and this was a very different experience for me.
Ikr- mild is bull. I’m going in for one next week, and I asked for pain meds because I won’t let them cut something off my body without 😅 when it comes to uterine health it’s so downplayed which is unfortunate
@playfulbortercollie I asked because this was my 2nd time so I already knew what it was like. They basically told me, take motrin. Yeah, motrin ain't it. It doesn't work for this pain!
I had a Pap smear last year and it was abnormal and had another pap and same results they did a vaginal ultrasound and they said it was dense or something like that so I have to see a gynecologist my NP did the pap my gyno she retired n my HPV was negative. I had this done before too yrs ago . And I am scared and nervous cause family history . And when I had it before it was uncomfortable too.
Why can’t this be all done in the O.R .. I’m freaking out I need to get this done .. plus another one before this one 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I’m 58 years old and since I hit this age in dec 22 has not been treating me well at all never thought 2023 I be facing a chance of having cancer 😭😭😭😭😭😭
my test came back abnormal for hpv. is that the same as a Positive? im currently waiting for my gynoco to give me the next steps and im sure i will have to get a colposcopy. so i just want to say thank you for this video, it really helped a lot with my nerves. im just ready to get this all done with i have enough going on mentally as it is. just ready to put this colposcopy behind me and see whats next after that. and whatever is next, i just pray it goes quickly and reading all these comments gave me a little sigh of relief, i didnt think it was so many women that has positive or abnormal hpv. im still trying to figure out whats the difference/ or if theres a difference with POSITIVE and ABNORMAL hpv. thanks ladies, we as women can always use a good PICK ME UP and tell one another everything is going to be ok......
So if I got an abnormal pap but a negative colposcopy. No dysplasia. Which would would should I believe. I still feel really confused. Even the doctor right after surgery said your cervix looked healthy to the naked eye.
I had to get an ecc done last Thursday and I'm wondering if this is the same thing. This procedure was discomforting to say the least. I'm very anxious about results and the post spot bleeding
Same...im giving up all sugar and fat id gained 8 lb was a bit underweight but don't give a rats the fat was killing me. Threw out my treat foods. I just want my womb out.
BULL!!! My procedure was excruciatingly painful. Starting from the beginning with the speculum to the samples taken. The vinegar stung like hell. The doctor didn't stop no matter how much pain was in. I could barely walk or drive after. No one helped me.
u have to say no or sue or kick, kick the fuck out of them. a scope shouldn’t hurt fr it might have cuz u were tightening the muscles from being nervous but doctors are so rude fr
Thank you so much for this video 🥺 I’m about to get my colposcopy in 4 months and I’m thinking of all the worse case scenarios. I’m not sure if this possible, but could you make this video in Spanish? I think my mom would have a little peace in mind after hearing your video. 🥹
Do we get local anaesthetic before a biopsy is done? I don’t imagine a doctor would take a forceps & cut a piece of flesh off my hand without anaesthetic….
Ugh God I had to do this twice the first time didn't know what I was in for I was sweating and couldn't keep still.The second time I needed a volume cuz I was such a wreck the biopsy I could feel my stomach in knots when she was taking it out but thankfully after my son was born my pap was normal.
Hi! I’m so glad your results with good news. I’m going to be getting mine done in a few weeks and was told no anesthesia will be given. Did you or your doctor request to be sedated? I really don’t want to be awake for this @amygonzalez7617
Absolutely nothing to worry about,it maybe a dark blood discharge. If you and your daughter are concerned about it. Call your gynecologist. There's no harm in that. That's what she or he is there fore. Nancy Moule

I hope i also go the same😢
If the colposcopy "draws out" the abnormal cells, why can't they just be scraped away?
It doesn’t drag them all out
great video! I had my first colpo done yesterday! My OBGYN told me not to Google the procedure because it might bring on more anxiety to having it done. However I wish I would've seen this video first. My only suggestion would be for to have seen the instruments you use for the removal of cells. My OBGYN used multiple circular scrub brushes to scrape cells off the cervix and that was the first time ever that I saw that. It was as if she was manually drilling into one spot of the cervix with each brush from big to small.
Was the procedure quick? Was it painful? I need one soon and I'm very nervous about it. Hope your results came back okay.
Thanks 🙏🏽 I watched your video before my colposcopy this morning. It helped me not have anxiety as bad as I would have .Everything was just what you said so I was prepared. My doctor was wonderful and explained everything but of course I already knew because I watched your video. It didn’t hurt. I could feel the pinch when she took the biopsies. It really was not as bad as I had made it up in my mind to be. They told me to take some ibuprofen 45 minutes before I come, but I’m old-school so I took some aspirin . so far I haven’t cramped at all after my colposcopy I do have some discharge but I think it may be from the stuff she used .
I had an abnormal pap smear 2 years ago. My Gynecologist office called it a "LEEP
." It actually came up on a computer so I could see what was going on.
I didn't feel comfortable looking at it.
This year I have a repeat pap smear and the "LEEP" It's amazing what medical science has come along
Hi I was wondering if you could tell me why you and a LEEP done? I just had an abnormal pap so I'm very nervous
@@brittneyr1128 Hi Makayla,
I try to make it simple for you the reason I had the Leep was because I had an abnormal pap test. It's a small procedure your gynecologist she or he will do in the office. It's like you go for your annual check up. You get in a gown with the bottom half covered with sheet. You put you feet in the stirrups and numb you up with a vinegar solution.. Then she or he will insert the speculam in and it is a very small tube they insert to take your uterus.. And take pictures of it. When then my doctor did this procedure. It didn't take to long but a little painful. You may have spotting so bring a a pad with you or you may have a grainy discharge..When she or he are finished with you exam you are tdld to slid up on the exam table and then sit up. They will give you something for pain. You have to wait until the nurse comes back to give you your pain medicine. Then you can get dressed. I had someone drive me. I was scared to drive my self. If you have any questions about the procedure before you give your doctor the consent to do it you have to sign a piece of paper. Ask all the questions about the procedure you want. Write them down. It's helpful for you if you don't understand what she or he is saying, there will be a doctor and a medical assistant with you at all time. Three most important things to remember.
Empty your bladder
Wiggle your toes, it will relax you during the procedure
Take slow deep breaths..In and out.
I hope this helps you.. And my best of luck to you during your procedure and I will be praying for you.
Nancy
🙏🙏🙏
@@brittneyr1128 And watch the video on RUclips. It will explain everything to you or just act your doctor before you get the procedure done. Best of luck.

Thank you Dr. Ali. I’m a CMA doing my externship at an OBGYN office. I appreciate your time and information in putting this video together. It was of great help 😊

@@flowers8951 everything went well I really overreacted. There was no pain I had great nurses who watched and assisted.
This video was a good refresher to the knowledge I already had about it. Yes please make a video on the LEEP❤️
Thank you for the video I’m having one done in a few weeks 🙏🏼. Eres bien informativa para las mujeres 🙂
I'll tell everyone about you *MR OBALAR* coming across your RUclips channel was a blessing, I'm free from hpv,,victory at last..❤❤❤
Thank you for this video my obgyn sent this and it helped me prepare for my procedure I’m nervous and ready to see what’s going on with me and get things going.
Had it done wasn't painful very little cramping only leaked the first few days a Tanish color what they used to stop any bleeding
I’m scared to have mine. I really don’t want a biopsy
If application of the acetic acid doesn't draw out any abnormal cells, does that mean the patient just needs to do a follow-up Pap smear within 6 months?
Call every doctor until you find one that will use pain management. Alkalized lidocaine in a high enough dose to actually numb your cervix. If your doctor tells you your cervix doesn't have any nerves RUN. It does and you know that. You deserve pain management. It only took 45 sec to lance an infection on my finger but they used lidocaine. Why wouldn't they do the same on your cervix? It's barberic.
For sure, after having had 2 done at the same place and being refused meds the 2nd time, I'll be on the hunt for a new dr next time.
Just had my third colpo today, and the pain has varied so much between all the procedures. Had biopsies with all three, first one barely hurt at all, second one was a little uncomfy, today’s was brutal. I have a super high pain tolerance and it still sucked. Been cramping and sore all day. Just goes to show that even in the same person the level of pain can vary. I’m sure it’s affected by anxiety about the procedure, but man if we could get even a little lidocaine spray or something it would be awesome.
I would rather have a 10 lb baby ,my colposcopy was so painful i thought i was going to throw up it was so painful and all my Gyno said is she couldn't get a sample because my 2 nd leep procedure has scars so bad couldnt get any sample . So now what ??? I was cramping so bad it lasted 4 days and bleeding. And now im worried, should i get 2nd opinion???? Im devastated im 69 years old and felt like because im old she didn't care. Im scheduled for another pap smear in 1 year. I wish i had you for my Gyno. Your very nice .😊
That's terrible (and terribly frightening). Did they offer the procedure under anesthesia?
I asked about pain management and told the NP I was nervous, she recommended to do it under anesthesia.
Thank you soo much for this video! I have been having soo much pelvic pain for the last year and a half… I just got a pap about a month ago and it’s pre cancerous cells. My PCM said he thinks we should wait a year. To redo the pap but I’m so scared to wait. I’ve been having so much pain almost everyday and randomly spotting. I hope I can have the right words to express my concern and that the doctor listens to me. I have had a friend that did a LEEP so I would so appreciate you making a video for that! 💕💕 thanks again for all the info!!!
Hi h r u now?srimathi from India.
Did you went to get it
Very pedagogical video congratulations professor!
I did this today and it didn’t hurt at all I did have cramps after but nothing as sharp pain
But everyone’s different
What causes anal Pap smear come up with ASCUS when I’m hpv negative for high and low risk HPV strains
Very informative thank you. If you re-watch the vid as a newbie...(red flags 🎌) Door is open and table paper is shredded; the room is not properly prepped.
I just got it done and im in sooo much pain… and im bleeding alot like if i just got my period really heavy 😭 and found out I have some small cysts 😢im so sad
Praying they can be removed 🙏
I’m so so scared my papsmare test were negative during pregnancy 🤰 I had delivered my baby already I’m scheduled to do Colpo tomorrow to confirm any abnormalities I’m so scared it could be cancer 😢😭😭
@@StanieMaba don’t worry everything will be fine you will see! My test came back normal . It was just the pap smear that came back abnormal and my colpo was good. 🤞🏼 you will get good news trust me .
Ya, I call BS!! You doctors need to add numbing injections to this procedure!!!
There is absolutely no reason not to!! 😡
NONE!!!
There is when you're absolutely terrified of needles, especially if you've had a bad experience with needles down there.
I had this done yesterday and it was not painful
Great vidoe , I had same problem HPV in high level and I did colposcopy 3 years agon,
After that treatment Iam not like before , I have discharge dark brown or dark black every month 5 days before period .
I had scan every thing normal but I dont know about this doscharge .
So why wouldn't you do a colposcopy at the same time/same patient visit as PAPA test? Wouldn't you want to know if there are changes to the cervix tissue before taking smear for PAPA test? And from where to take it? (Colposcopy without biopsy)
Because identifying a cancer cells is not what regular physician can do, physician can take a pap but not identify cancerous cells on the cervix, they usually refer you to a specialist OBGYN who is also gynaecological surgeon.
@@vkrgfan I'm not from the US (have that in mind), but why wouldn't you just directly go to the OBGYN for regular checkups where they do see abnormalities with the use of colposcope and do PAPA smear or biopsy from the exact place that the changes are? Why would a regular physician even look at you? PAPA tests results are reliable only when taken from the right place, so without specialist being the one doing complete exam and seeing risk factors, it's basically useless. And the whole exam is done in no time, it's not like you spend an hour wasting OBGYN's time...
@@minazivkovic8816 idk about people who have established care, but for me, I had a normal physical do my pap at the school health center and referred me to an actual obgyn who had the full tools to get it done and test for other things. I need the referral so my health insurance doesn’t charge me thousands. I think healthcare in the US is not easy to navigate and further made difficult through insurance issues
I love you Dr.Alley!! 🎉Nancy ❤🙏🌻you are so good at explaining, and thank you for helping me with my biopsy Thursday. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🎁😊☀️
I had an abnormal pap on 5/8 with high risk HPV positive results. This is the first abnormal pap I've ever had. I'm 45. I had an endometrial biopsy a few years ago and it was very painful. I have a colposcopy coming up in a couple weeks. This will be the first time I've had it done and I'm nervous and scared it's going to hurt. Is it painful having it done?
i’ve seen about half and half sayinf it was barely anything to it was the worst pain in their life and my friend has even had a baby and said it was extremely painful
This helped so much with my counselling station for obgyn osce! Ty
*MR OBALAR* ON RUclips CURE ME TOTALLY❤️❤
You made that so easy I wish I would’ve seen this before but I wasn’t that concerned. Do you have the actual tools used for this
Thank you so much for this informative video. Do you have any insight on risks of a colposcopy? I’m mainly concerned about cervical stenosis, inability to carry a baby full-term, inability to deliver naturally, etc.
Please make a video on Endometriosis and how to deal with the pain
It's hard to be a women I was diagnosed with endometriosis and hpv 😢
I stopped my severe endo pain with a paleo diet. I did the "Whole 30" and my terrible cramps (+bladder and digestive issues) dropped. Since then I've learned that dairy (especially cheese 😢) and sugars (even in breads, pastas, cereals) significantly increase my pain. It took 100% restriction, not just avoidance to make this dramatic difference. I know for some it's challenging, but so worth it to get your life back (skin, energy, brain health all improved as well)!
I went from taking high dose ibuprofen for 7+ days to maybe one day of a natural cramp bark formula by Vitanica. Usually, I don't even take that. Magnesium glycinate is another great supplement for calming cramps and helping to decrease prostaglandins.
I so can't do this.. I have one coming up on the 17th of this month.. I'm totally crying over this.. I so want to cancel this...
How did it go? Mines in the morning and I’m very afraid since I already have everyday cramping and pain
@@kittykat1448 I canceled mine out.. there is way too many women that had this done and says that it's extremely painful.. Doctors and nurses always downplay how painful a procedure really is so that you get it done.. I didn't want to be in pain for days after, I didn't want bleeding and discharge for days afterwards as well, and I didn't want chunks taken out.. Do research on what on your doctor told you if you have 16/18 and 45 then you basically have no choice in getting it done. And if your pap came back Lsil or Hsil then the same thing you gave no choice.. All doctors follow guidelines in scheduling different tests and etc. For me I feel like I can hold off until next year and get a repeat pap, and HPV test and if things change then I'll have to get one done.
i would say ur not gonna do the biopsy without meds or put to sleep. or just do the scope and go to another doctor who will give u meds, and usually hpv goes away within a year or two so at ur next pap if its still irregular maybe then look into
@@ava_adamsg are you replying to me? If so I already know about HPV going away on it's own. I already know about my results and I have planned my own way to go about them which was to redo the pap and the HPV test this year then go from there if it shows up worse results. The doctor that I did have well she isn't my doctor anymore, her choice not mine. Thanks..
I have mine this month thank you for educating us. Can you do one on leep vs cryotherapy?
Same results are mine
How are u now?
What u have done after that
I'm waiting for my results from my February 19th pap test.. hoping for the best results.
Great video, this puts me at ease now
Even though it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be, it was some what traumatic seeing the tools and the weird pain. The first biopsy was easy just felt like a period cramp and they had to take a second one which I’m sure was a bigger sample and it hurt like bad period cramps as well as pinching and burning, tugging and aching. Also I’m having really annoying itching/burning and I’m not sure if it’s from the solution they used ? I heard nothing of this in the side effects aftercare. I don’t want to do this shit ever againnnnn ugh just happy I got it over with. They only left the numbing cream on for a couple seconds so I’m sure it didn’t do anything
I have a colposcopy tomorrow. I'm scared
How are you? I will have soon.im positive in HPV and result of my papsmear is abnormal
How did it go?
It went really well, I was petrified but it was nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be and I got the all clear
I have to have one done the 20th of march and am very scared idk what to do I’m not sure I want to do this
I'm scheduled for one on the same day, and I'm nervous. I've never been a fan of regular pap smear exams. Best of luck to you.
Do you prescribe antibiotics before and after the operation ma'am?
Can you do a video about colposcopy while pregnant and biopsy. I’m so scared. Idk if I want to wait after pregnancy or do it while pregnant. Only because I was reading hpv could be transmitted while delivering and the baby could have hpv in the throat and treatment must be done.
Hi There, Any Updates? Currently Going Through This As Well.
Any update here please
I'm so jealous of women who doesn't feel pain during this procedure. I have to do it for the second time, and I'm considering the cancer. 😭
Hi I just love your videos. I am a new registered nurse on the labor and delivery floor. I would love if you could do a FHR Reading and interpretation and possibly protocols or interventions from OBGYN perspective.PLEASE and Thank you so much!

Idk “mild cramping” was pretty intense. It was hard for me to drive home after and sleeping that night was not happening due to the cramping. Sad this is “mild.” I have a high pain tolerance too and this was a very different experience for me.
Ikr- mild is bull. I’m going in for one next week, and I asked for pain meds because I won’t let them cut something off my body without 😅 when it comes to uterine health it’s so downplayed which is unfortunate
@playfulbortercollie I asked because this was my 2nd time so I already knew what it was like. They basically told me, take motrin. Yeah, motrin ain't it. It doesn't work for this pain!
@@Randaronii I totally agree!
I’m in my second day of recovery and I feel like a did a lower ab workout plus cramps it hurts 😢
I had a Pap smear last year and it was abnormal and had another pap and same results they did a vaginal ultrasound and they said it was dense or something like that so I have to see a gynecologist my NP did the pap my gyno she retired n my HPV was negative. I had this done before too yrs ago . And I am scared and nervous cause family history . And when I had it before it was uncomfortable too.

How did it go?
@@elyssa8689 hi sorry took me forever to respond.. everything went perfectly thank you so much for asking
my test came back abnormal for hpv. is that the same as a Positive? im currently waiting for my gynoco to give me the next steps and im sure i will have to get a colposcopy. so i just want to say thank you for this video, it really helped a lot with my nerves. im just ready to get this all done with i have enough going on mentally as it is. just ready to put this colposcopy behind me and see whats next after that. and whatever is next, i just pray it goes quickly and reading all these comments gave me a little sigh of relief, i didnt think it was so many women that has positive or abnormal hpv. im still trying to figure out whats the difference/ or if theres a difference with POSITIVE and ABNORMAL hpv. thanks ladies, we as women can always use a good PICK ME UP and tell one another everything is going to be ok......
So if I got an abnormal pap but a negative colposcopy. No dysplasia. Which would would should I believe. I still feel really confused. Even the doctor right after surgery said your cervix looked healthy to the naked eye.
Update please ❤
Update 🙏🏾
Update please?
At the end of the colposcopy, does the dr wash away the vinegar? Im worried about lingering pain, especially if they do a biopsy

I had to get an ecc done last Thursday and I'm wondering if this is the same thing. This procedure was discomforting to say the least. I'm very anxious about results and the post spot bleeding
I’m so scared… I have abnormal pamp I had the vaccine prior to me being sexually active.. I’m so depressed and emotional right now
Same...im giving up all sugar and fat id gained 8 lb was a bit underweight but don't give a rats the fat was killing me. Threw out my treat foods. I just want my womb out.
In Canada you are lucky if you don't have to wait 12 months to see a gyne.
Can you give us some simple lectures about OBGYN? I am in my path to be obgyn in USA and this will be very helpful🌹
BULL!!! My procedure was excruciatingly painful. Starting from the beginning with the speculum to the samples taken. The vinegar stung like hell. The doctor didn't stop no matter how much pain was in. I could barely walk or drive after. No one helped me.
u have to say no or sue or kick, kick the fuck out of them. a scope shouldn’t hurt fr it might have cuz u were tightening the muscles from being nervous but doctors are so rude fr
Thank you so much for this video 🥺 I’m about to get my colposcopy in 4 months and I’m thinking of all the worse case scenarios. I’m not sure if this possible, but could you make this video in Spanish? I think my mom would have a little peace in mind after hearing your video. 🥹
Do we get local anaesthetic before a biopsy is done? I don’t imagine a doctor would take a forceps & cut a piece of flesh off my hand without anaesthetic….
It’s kind of like a Pap smear, a little pinch
Ugh God I had to do this twice the first time didn't know what I was in for I was sweating and couldn't keep still.The second time I needed a volume cuz I was such a wreck the biopsy I could feel my stomach in knots when she was taking it out but thankfully after my son was born my pap was normal.
