  • The Doctors are joined by OB/GYN Dr. Thai Aliabadi to discuss the common procedure, LEEP, done to treat precancerous changes of the cervix by scraping away abnormal cells. Some women say this procedure destroyed their sex life.
    Dr. Aliabadi states, "If you have high-grade lesions on your cervix, you need to remove them. A LEEP procedure in the hand of an experienced surgeon has minimal risk. You will not have sexual dysfunction if it's done right."

    I had this done at 8 weeks postpartum from my 2nd daughter. I was advised to terminate and have it done at 5 months pregnant, but decided to wait until delivery. Thankfully nothing changed in that time and my daughter was born healthy(she just turned 19) I was scared to death on that table, but other than the cervical injections it didn't hurt. I had cramping and light bleeding for 2 days and that's it. I have HPV so Colposcopy is a yearly event for me, but thankfully no more leep procedures. I also went on to have 2 more full term pregnancies, no cervical incompetence and no sexual dysfunction.

    Referring to the LEEP as a scraping is very misleading and untrue. Pap smears are scrapings. The LEEP cuts through the cervix with a hot wire. It's not a scraping by any means. The type of pain, injury, and potential for long term side effects related to sexual function are a big deal. Every doctor who performs LEEPs should be aware of this and give their patients full disclosure prior to the procedure.

      You are correct, LEEP stands for Loop Electroexcision Procedure. I had it done, and researched the heck out of it beforehand. They use a thin, electrified wire loop and it cuts while cauterizing the affected tissue.

    I had the LEEP done 1 year ago. I suffered from everything that woman is also suffering from. Loss of sensation, inability to orgasm, difficulty to get aroused, dryness issues, pain during intercourse, severe psychological disorders that I have had to see a neurologist for such as depression, anxiety and migraines, just an overall change in who I am and my happiness. Its taken a huge toll on my relationship but thankfully my boyfriend is patient and understanding I just hope he doesn't go looking for someone else who isn't broken like me. I wish my doctor would have acknowledged these possible side effects. Even afterwards when I told her what I was going through she said it couldn't possibly be related and I disagree 100%. I was a very sexual person prior to this procedure and I feel like this had destroyed me.

Most people are not comfortable having those conversations but If the doctors would ask the patients those questions then some women would talk about the after math.

    Since then ive tried to get pregnant a couple times. Nothing. One doctor during a pap smear said he couldnt find my cervix??? The speculum is like driving a screwdriver through me. I dunno if in healing it has prevented me from being able to get pregnant. I cant get answers anywhere. I was 25 when it was done. Im now 44. Dont let this happen to you.

Doctors and hospital staff laugh and smile on there face when they putting fingers in side of female patient vagina area before and after pap smear is done. Pelvic exam are not useful screening for healthy woman and can be harmful especially when women been sexual abuse. Pelvic exam are not effective way to diagnose ovarian cancer or HPV and STD. Pelvic exam are so anxiety and inducting or painful that they can even cause healthy woman to avoid medical care altogether. Female patient should have right to refuse pelvic exam when doctors say it will not hurt

I suffer from loss of libido, loss of the ability to orgasm like before, loss of sensation, even in other areas like the clitoris, loss of the lubrication in the vagina and so on… and they only took 4mm deep of my cervix! The worst is also for me that I would have decided differently if I would have known that those side effects can occur. There’s alternatives to this procedure that cure cervical dysplasia! There is different options. Please educate yourself ladies.
