I just had LEEP done and it was slightly painful, I would compare it to having and IUD inserted. I’m so glad that I was able to have it done, not only was it an easy procedure it gives you peace of mind. It’s’very important to nip thing in the bud so to speak. Taking good care of yourself is the number one thing one can do. I would suggest taking lots of flax seed and eating lots of greens..salmon is also very good in that it has lots of omega’s’that help your cervix to heal. Lots of walking is also good for the cervix, but don’t do alot of running till you’ve healed from the procedure. Whatever the reason why or how you got abnormal cell on your cervix, take care of yourself, stick to one partner and love yourself.

How long should I expect to be out of work after having the LEEP procedure?
I had the LEEP procedure done apprx. 11 years ago and have had a normal pap ever since. I am sure times have changed from then until now but then it was not real uncomfortable. It definatly gives you piece of mind though. Don’t wait ladies on having something like this done. It could save your life.
