HELLO DEAR
I UNDERSTAND YOUR PROBLEM.Since your diagnosis of low grade cervical dysplasia is being confirmed on biopsy i.e. CIN 1..cervical intraepithelial neoplasia..its a premalginant procedure and though chances of progression to carcinoma is less than 1%,to avoid this in future its mandatory that you undergo LEEP procedure and it will be done under local anaesthesia
Thanking you
