Biopsy vs colposcopy results

Cervical screening results

Hi,

So finally I have my date for my LLETZ, my smear results came back high grade severe dyskaryosis, so I had a punch biopsy and my results 2 weeks later showed CIN 1 & 2. So the question is, could the LLETZ results differ much compared to the punch? 

The symptoms I have are stomach/pelvic pain. I've also found 3 lumps but 2 have disappeared and 1 is like a little stone under the pink skin at the side of the vaginal opening. So ive requested to have a full vulvar examination when I go for my LLETZ. I ended up going to my doctors today because I've been also suffering with extreme itchyness and burning sensation which has drove me crazy to find out that I've got BV! I feel like ever since my smear results have come back, its been back to back with symptoms.

Hi MissyDee the lletz procedure you are going to have is to remove the abnormal cells altogether hopefully with clear margins the punch biopsy takes just a small ammount for diagnosis. It's always the case that everything comes at once when you are feeling anxious and crappy haha. Good luck with the lletz x

Hi Cherryelm,

Thanks for your reply. Sorry if I didn't make my wording very clear, because I understand what the biopsy and LLETZ do but I was wondering if the LLETZ can show a different result from what I received from the biopsy? What does clear margins mean? Am I right in guessing it means that if it's not a clear margin that they haven't removed it All??
