Chances of this being cancer?!
Question: Chances of this being cancer!?
I am 4!.5 months pregnant and have been diagnosed with severe cervical dysplasia!. I go in soon for a colposcopy and biopsy!. ( i had this done last year but i only had a few abnormal cells and they were not cancerous at that time)
My question is what are my chances this will be cancerous!? I am 23 years old, cancer runs in my family but i have read that it can take 10 years before it becomes cancerous!. I have also read that some factors contribute to this, like smoking and young pregnancy which i factor into both of those!.
Also, if its not cancerous, what are my options to take care of the abnormal cells that wont affect the baby!?
Thanks for any help with this!. Just want some insight before i go to the docs as i have 3 kids under the age of 4, with one on the way and im just a little freaked out right now about everything and want to make sure im around for my kids!. Thanks!
(and yes i know that this does not mean i have cancer, but at risk of having it)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Sounds like you are on the right path- getting it checked and taken care of!. The doctor will give you options and you may be able to monitor the situation and take care of treatment after delivery!.
I had a cryosurgical procedure (wonderful by the way) at 21 and am now 52 so dont worry too much!. Yes you have some risk factors but you are also being diligent and that is the best thing you can do!.
Some cancers grow very slow and then again some can be agressive- you can only be proactive and that is the best thing for you and your babies!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't think there's any way it can affect your baby!.
I'm guessing they will just trim off the bad cells and everything will be all right!.
As for the future I'm not sure what your chances are but I think your baby will be fine!. If they monitor it in the future no reason you shouldn't be OK!.
If you want to have more children maybe you shouldn't wait too long because you may eventually have to have a hysterectomy!. (Also not that big a deal these days)!.
Best luck - God bless!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
