I think it's important for women to seek the best treatment available. But any decision needs to be informed. There are a few facts to keep in mind.
1. The success rate of LEEP is the same as the other methods. If you are not comfortable with LEEP, there is cryosurgery, laser, and cold knife. Get information about all of these methods and discuss them with your doctor before choosing one.
2. Patients are encouraged to seek LEEP because it is cost effective, and therefore, makes insurance companies happy because it increases their profit. Keep that in mind before making your decision.
3. These procedures are not a guarantee dysplasia won't return. Unforunately, western medicine is currently failing women in that there is no accurate screening test, there is no medicine to suppress a return of dysplasia, and there is certainly no medicine to cure it. Tragically, the only method for addressing dysplasia is to partially amputate your cervix. this being so, it is even more important to carefully inform yourself of all methods of amputation before you choose one.
