HPV precancerous cells? I was told today that I was tested positive for this my nerves are going crazy right?


now any advice?

And why isnt just called precancerous cells? why HPV cells?

don't worry too much!!
this has happened to nearly all the women in my family.
it cleared up on its own in half of them
the other half (the ones than got the second or third abnormal pap) got cryo-surgery & haven't had any other abnormal paps since, nor any issues from the cryo-surgery

Its very common and really nothing to worry about. Precancerous cells are called Dysplasia. You tested for HPV which is a virus, actually an STD. HPV is a cause for dysplasia. They will probably do a colposcopy:
olposcopy or colcoscopy is a medical diagnostic procedure to examine an illuminated, magnified view of the cervix and the tissues of the vagina and vulva. Many premalignant lesions and malignant lesions in these areas have discernible characteristics which can be detected thorough the examination. It is done using a colposcope, which provides an enlarged view of the areas, allowing the colposcopist to visually distinguish normal from abnormal appearing tissue and take directed biopsies for further pathological examination. The main goal of colposcopy is to prevent cervical cancer by detecting precancerous lesions early and treating them. The procedure was developed in 1925 by the German physician Hans Hinselmann.

Then depending on how severe it is they may do a LEEP:
The loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) is currently one of the most commonly used approaches to treating high grade cervical dysplasia discovered on colposcopic examination. It is also known as "large loop excision of the transformation zone" (LLETZ). The procedure has many advantages including low cost, high success rate, and ease of use. The procedure can be done in an office setting and usually only requires a local anesthetic, though sometimes a general anesthetic is used.
When performing a LEEP, the physician uses a wire loop through which an electrical current is passed at variable power settings. Various shapes and sizes of loop can be used depending on the size and orientation of the lesion. The transformation zone and lesion are excised to an adequate depth, which in most cases is at least 8 mm, and extending 4 to 5 mm beyond the lesion. A second pass with a more narrow loop can also be done to obtain an endocervical specimen for further histologic evaluation.
The LEEP technique results in some thermal artifact in all specimens obtained due to the use of electricity which simultaneously cuts and cauterizes the lesion, but this does not generally interfere with pathological interpretation. Complications are less frequent in comparison to a cold knife conization, but can include infection and hemorrhage. Damage to the cervical stroma may lead to cervical stenosis or incompetence. The LEEP does not appear to affect fertility. However, a recent study indicated that LEEP appears to increase the risk of premature rupture of the membranes during subsequent pregnancies which may lead to preterm delivery.

Most dysplasia clears up on its own but sometimes it doesnt. Because you are pregnant they will probably wait to treat the dysplasia.

You will be fine. Many many women have gone through this. Dont let it stress you to much.

I had the LEEP procedure done about 2 years ago- I've had normal exams ever since. Don't worry and stress out right now, it's not a good time. Talk with your doctor if you have anymore concerns. If you want to, email me, and I'll try to give you some more advice. But what the previous girl stated with all the medical stuff, is all accurate. Good luck!
