Guest guest Posted January 14, 1999 Report Share Posted January 14, 1999 Hi, I am new to the list, and have found reading everybodies postings very comforting. I have had constant vaginal burning for the last two years, and one doctor's visit after another, along with one medication after another. A year ago, i had an abnormal pap (my first) showing severe cervical dysplasia, had a colposcopy, biopsy, the whole nine yards. I had my entire cervix frozen, which was supposed to kill off all the bad cells and my cervix would then produce normal cells again. Well, to make a LONG story short, I have been seen on and off over the last year for more vaginal burning (very similar to what many of you described as having a blow torch under you), and no infection has been present (which makes it more frustrating, as i cant figure out WHY/WHAT is causing this constant burning (i have been tested for all different vaginal/urinary tract). Well, when i went for my 6 month follow up pap, after the cryosurgery, again, i had an abnormal pap (which is odd, as i should have had a normal one now). The pap showed inflammation, but i was also tested for infections and came back negative. The doc told me to come back in 3 mos (which will be one week from now) and see how the pap comes back. Anyway, this may not even be related to what all of y ou are talking about....vulvar disorders...this is more cervical, i guess, but i am just wondering if anyone has been, or is in, a similar situation. I am 30 years old and can't imagine going through this for the rest of my life. I have also tried to eliminate sugar/carbs from my diet to see if it would do anything to alleviate the burning, but nothing seems to help. Come to find out, the burning may not be related in the least to my cervical issues. Oh well, i feel very frustrated, and needed to vent. Would love to hear if anyone else has the same, or similar problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 15, 1999 Report Share Posted January 15, 1999 , I too had cervical dysplasia. I had the cryocautery done. I took almost a year for my pap smears to turn normal. I think it just might take that long for the cervical cells to not show irritation. So, do not be too worried if your pap smear shows irritation. Feel free to email me with any questions.
