Hi everyone, I am looking for some advice about the possibility of undergoing a hysterectomy as a result of cell changes. I had my first abnormal smear result around 4 years ago now. The result showed CIN3 and CGIN and I had some laser treatment. The following year I had boderline abnormal changes but my recent 2 smears have been clear. My mum had cervical cancer and passed away but as far as I’m aware it isn’t a heredity disease. My consultant has proposed that I have a full hysterectomy removing my womb and cervix only. He has suggested this to give myself peace of mind due to my family history and the fact I have quite heavy periods. My question, is, has anyone else had this surgery? I am in two minds to go ahead because I don’t fully feel it’s necessary. It’s such a major surgery and I don’t want to put myself through something if i don’t really need it. Thanks

Hi 
No personal experience as my smear showed cell changes so went in for final LEEP before finding out sorry our mistake you already have cancer 
I’d be getting a second opinion because it is major surgery and no, it’s not hereditary or that what my oncologist said.
I know this surgery is offered on persistent, CIN3 but only after LEEP has been done and there is nothing physically they can removed from the cervix.
