Pregnant with MILD SQUAMOUS DYSPLASIA (CIN 1)...?!


Question: Back in July my normal family doctor did a Pap and it came back abnormal. She did a few biopsys and it came back that I have Mild Dysplasia. I got pregnant 1 month later, so I started going to an OB for the baby. I had all my files transfered from my one doctor to the OB doctor. She was aware of the CIN 1 and told me back in November she would do a repeat Pap. Well here it is December and she KEEPS forgetting to check. I feel weird to keep reminding her. Maybe it's just not that inportant to have it monitored while pregnant? What should I do?

It is very important that this be followed up on. It can change fairly quickly. Of course, you cannot have the procedure to rid yourself of the abnormal cells until after the child is born. You should not have to remind your doctor about this. You may want to consider seeing another. The usual protocol for CIN 1 is to recheck every 3-6 months. CIN 1 can clear on its own - if it advances then treatment is necessary. I have had to deal with this in between two of my pregnancies.

if anything it is more important. you have to think of two people not just one now. you cant just assume that practicioners will keep up on your healthcare. you have to be an active part. demand one! if you don't get someone to recheck you then go to a different doctor. that can change quickly so get an appointment for this week! i hope i don't come off as harsh but it is sooo important. it makes me mad that they havent taken better care of you. sorry for that. wish i could tell them what i think. good luck with your pregnancy too!! :)

Don't feel bad about reminding her. It is your health you're talking about. Never feel bad about reminding a doctor to do something or about asking them questions. They work for you!

For sure remind her to recheck! If it has started to grow or change, it is still at a stage where it can be taken care of without hurting you or the baby. Chances are fairly good that the biopsy they already did got a good portion of the dysplasia, maybe all of it, but be safe for your baby's sake! Good luck!

Just keep reminding her. I had something similar but they found it when I was already pregnant and I had moderate to severe dysplasia. They usually will not do anything while you are pregnant other then just watch it to make sure it does not get to much worse.

They try not to do to much because early on in your pregnancy it can cause you to miscarry but late in your pregnancy it can make you go into preterm labor.
