@Tobi he is referring me to the oncologist in the area for the second opinion, as of now it's not cancer, just severe dysplasia.
I agree with the above comment. I’d get a second opinion. I had a colposcopy when I was like 8 weeks pregnant, had a normal pregnancy with a vaginal delivery and then a follow up colposcopy at my six week postpartum appointment.
Honestly, second opinion aside, I also tested positive and it is known that pregnant women will test positively for that and it’s because of the pregnancy. I had a colposcopy but my doctor only did visual because doing a biopsy is dangerous while pregnant and suggested I retest after I give birth to access whether a colposcopy biopsy is really necessary. Per the studies you should test 12 weeks after giving birth as anytime before will could result in another positive tests. I will wait until the 12 weeks and then retest. An oncologist over a positive pap is extremely overreactive unless he actually found cancer.. which they’d be treating it differently.
@Pamela Noelle he showed me a picture of my cervix and it was fully lit up, said that if I hadn't been pregnant he would have been cutting the whole top of my cervix off then. So idk if it's an overreaction, just concern. 🤷🏽♀️ The whole thing just had me worried/scared ya know?
@DeAnna I’m so sorry! There wasn’t a ton of detail, however, I would implore you to definitely get a second opinion because biopsies while pregnant can put the pregnancy at risk. Also recommending a c section off of that would also want me to get a second opinion. I’m sorry you’re going through this 🥺
@Pamela Noelle thank you, I am definitely gonna be talking to the oncologist, and the doctor said he doesn't normally do a biopsy during pregnancy, but he was concerned with the way it lit up! I appreciate all your help and words of advice/wisdom! I trust my doctor, I was really just curious who all has had this done and everything was OK. I think he said the reason he wanted to do the c section was because it could possibly make it worse by having a normal labor. Idk
I say get a 2nd opinion on that. I was due a follow up colposcopy when I was 30+ weeks pregnant. Doctor said I should deliver as desired and come back for the colposcopy 3 months after birth. I had a pretty normal vaginal delivery despite abnormal pap
