COLOP - Biopsy

Hello!

Tomorrow I will be having a colop done for a second time as my last pap came back with abnormal cells. The first time it had been abnormal with HPV. This time it was just abnormal. A part of me is really reluctant to get this procedure done again... it is a $255 expense and I really hope it isn’t something that I’ll have to do annually. Is it really worth it? Can things really change in one year? Are my medical providers just being overly cautious ?

Another hesitation I have is the pain.. the first time I did it. It was incredible painful. Granted, I hadn’t taken anything before nor had I eaten. Does anyone have any tips???

Thank you !! Hope you’re all staying safe.
