I was just wondering I went in for a gyno exam a while ago and had a byopsy done on a spot in me and I went for another exam on the first of aug. and she said the spot was moderate to sever what does that mean? Also I had another spot in my recent exam and I'm starting to wonder what the spots are or what they could mean (HPV-Cance?)

They are showing precancerous changes. It could be from HPV or cancer. They will most likely have you do a LEEP (which I had done) or a cone biospy to remove the area. Other treatments are available you and your doctor can pick which will work best. If caught early the first surgrey should work and you will be fine.

Surgery? I just got the byopsy and I have to go in 3 weeks for the results and she said if there's and other spot she has to use a laser didn't mention anything about surgery

Well it depends on the treatment... the laser treatment should be outpatient. A cone biospy would be surgrey. Didn't mean to scare you.

Its OK I'm kind of chicken I've never had any surgery the worst thing I did was cut my finger in a meat slicer and I alomost got stiches but I cut the piece off so I couldn't stich it back so then I almost get a skin graft but I didn't even get that so I'm a surgery virgin lol I never even had a cavity

When I first had my biospy I was 20. Cancer runs in my family too. My was determine to be HPV that was turning into cancer. Just be thankful it was found early. If you plan on having children someday it is worth going through this now.
