Risk of miscarriage after LEEP?

Question

I'm 20 years old and about a month ago my pap smear came back abnormal so I had a colposcopy the next week, after that my doctor told me I had moderate dysplasia and I had a LEEP done last Tuesday. My doctor told me there was an extremely slim chance of risk in pregnancy after this procedure but I've been researching on the internet today and it seems like the risk of problems is actually quite high, at least it seems this way to me. I have one child but I def. want more. Has anyone had any personal experience with pregnancy after LEEP?

Answer 1

A LEEP is a safe and highly effective treatment for cervical dysplasia. How a future pregnancy will be affected by a LEEP depends on how much cervical tissue has been removed by the LEEP and whether LEEP or other cervical surgery has been previously performed. Keep in mind that these complications affect only one to two percent of women who have a LEEP, but there is a slightly elevated risk of preterm labor. Most women do go on to have healthy, full term pregnancies.
