What should I expect from a LEEP procedure after abnormal Pap?
Community Member
2 days agoHello all - I have a LEEP coming up next month after my first bad Pap smear & testing positive for HPV. I am already living as if I may get the diagnosis. I look forward to learning from others who’ve had similar experiences. ~Sue

2 days agoLEEP procedures are commonly performed after abnormal Pap results and HPV-positive tests, and many community members have shared their experiences to help others prepare. The procedure itself is typically quick and performed in a doctor's office, with most people able to return to normal activities within a few days, though recovery experiences can vary from person to person.
