Surgery "down there"

[Wahine]

I haven't had the test, but there are some types of tissue changes that occur that can be precancerous, so that's likely what they're screening for. I can say that while I was in China I saw women treated with acupuncture for this. Yes they put needles directly around the suspicious area and then electrically stimulated them. I think I'd rather have the biopsy.

I am not a doctor nor have I ever played one on tv but my guess would be normal healing time for tissue repair...maybe a week or a bit more.

sounds exciting to me

The vocalizations that these women gave during the treatment where not sounds of excitement. There was a lot of calling out and yelping.

ETA - my mandarin is limited to ordering cold beer, so who knows, they could've been saying anything.

I have had some. It hurts a little but it was not terrible. I thought it felt a bit like the pain I get right before my periods sometimes...

Remember to bring your own pad in case of light bleeding, otherwise they give you the hospital ones which feel like diapers! (At my hospital anyway.)

I'm not touching that one
