Abnormal cervix cells
Hi , I had abnormal cervical cells in 2018 (level 1 of 3) and removed them with the LEEP procedure. They found more severe abnormal cells (level 2 of 3) right now and I have a dull ache on and off since October. Everytime I mention it to my Obgyn she says it’s probably nothing. I had an ultrasound on my uterus in October and it was normal. I’m having hot flashes now too and my hormones seem intense sometimes too… smells are more prominent, moods are up and down… I’m just worried these doctors didn’t catch my abnormal cells in time. The dull ache I have is like a pressure in my utuerus and it drives me crazy. I can take Tylenol for the pain but that’s not the point. What should I do with this pain besides get another ultrasound? I also want to mention that I have hpv 18/24 which is a a more severe hpv strain.1. I’ve also been having to pee frequently throughout the day. I mean it’s so bad that I have to time when I drink water before I go to the store so that I don’t need to pee at the store or on my drive home from the store. Is this pressure in my uterus really my bladder?
2. I’ve also been having shorter periods. They were usually lasting 7-9 days and now they’re 4 days long. The time between each period every month is normal though.
3. I have been working out more, mainly my flutes and legs. I have been putting weight on my pelvis (about 60-90lbs) maybe 1-4 times a week doing glute bridges. Not sure if this is related.I just starting taking turkey tail and AHCC, but micro doses because they make me nauseous so I’m trying to build a tolerance.
Should I be getting a colposcopy every year since I have a high strain of HPV? I’m shocked they wait 4 years to do another colposcopy. My paps have been normal every year, even this year it was normal. I want to live a long life.. I’m only 32… I know this isn’t an emotion support group… but I’m just so afraid of the malpractice in the US and the “c” word (cancer) really makes me nauseous just thinking about it. I’m getting an mri of my pelvis area to see what they find as well. Otherwise, don’t know what else I can do in the meantime
Do you think the abnormal cervix cells are causing the dull ache in my uterus? The Obgyn said they are separate form each other so the uterus pain should not be caused by the abnormal cells

Hi – I’m glad you’re sharing your feelings. We’re here for you and don’t want you to feel alone. This is one of the reasons why I created B Better – creating a community and a sense of belonging is key to health and longevity, so I’m glad you came to us with your questions and concerns.❤️
I know we’ve discussed HPV in a previous post, and I encouraged you to check immune nutrients vitamin D, vitamin A and RBC zinc. Were these measured?
I’m glad you started AHCC. You mentioned that the turkey tail used to cause you nausea and you’re feeling it again. I would discontinue the turkey tail and see if the nausea goes away so that you can hopefully increase your AHCC to the dosage that was shown to be effective in the study I shared (3g/day on an empty stomach).
A dull ache is not “probably nothing” and I would encourage you to find another doctor who is willing to dig a little deeper for another opinion. Symptoms is the language our body uses to speak to us, so BRAVO for not accepting this answer and wanting to dig deeper. Seek a 2nd, 3rd, and 4th opinion if you have to. Consider working with a naturopath if conventional doctors keep giving you the same answers.
Frequent urination could be caused by a number of things; high histamine irritating the tissues of the bladder, insulin resistance, adrenal imbalances (hypoadrenal state where cortisol and aldosterone are lower and cause increased urination).
From our previous conversations, you seemed to have a balanced diet so if blood sugar dysregulation has been ruled out with testing (watch this video on what markers to get), I would encourage you to check your cortisol status. And given the hormonal imbalances you’re beginning to experience despite your young age, I would point the finger at cortisol and adrenal health. How is your stress level? Does this resonate with you? Remember – stress is not only mental/emotional, but also physical and physiological.
I just released the adrenal balance course, and would encourage you to watch it if you have the time. Otherwise, start with these videos:
• The types of stress
• Testing Adrenal Function: At Home / In Blood / In Saliva/Urine
• How cortisol affects other hormonesDo let me know if any of this rings true for you and let’s keep the conversation going.

Thank you, I appreciate the response.
I had the surgery to remove the abnormal
Cells and waiting a week for a biopsy in a week. They were CIN2 when checked in January.Now how should I be detoxing from anesthesia? The only detox I can think of is bone broth.
They gave me a high dose of “twilight” and still feeling the effects after 24 hours later. I’m also still nauseous too drive. I took Dramamine but that helped a little. I also took several doses of b6, several doses of nex vom, and double ginger tea. The dramanine probabaly made me drowsy though. When does this go away? I never take medications so this is a lot for me. They also gave me fetinal for pain.
Also, I’m reading that after anesthesia my hair might fall out in a couple months or in rare cases, turn grey!

if you’re still feeling nauseous from the anesthesia, you can consider supporting your liver and gallbladder during this period with food/lifestyle therapy and/or supplements.
My favorite food & lifestyle therapy options for supporting the liver/gallbladder:
-Beet, carrot, lemon juice
-Cabbage juice (~150ml) for 7 to 30 days (also great for gut healing and anti-parasitic)
-Dandelion root tea infusion (let the herbs steep for 4+ hours)
-Castor oil pack over the liver/gallbladder
-Artichoke salad with garlic, lemon juice & extra virgin olive oil dressing
-Cilantro shots (cilantro is also a binder that can help mop up toxins)You can find a full list of therapeutic foods for the liver in the Resources (here). I would incorporate more of these into my diet.
In terms of supplements, you can consider different products that support both phase 1 and phase 2 detoxification which would contain a mix of amino acids and nutrient co-factors like B vitamins, along with liver protective compounds like milk thistle and bile support like taurine. Here are a few examples in the B Better Fullscript dispensary (log in to the dispensary to see them):
-Integrative Therapeutics Detoxification Factors
-Metagenics AdvaClearA binder like GI Detox taken away from food/supplements and medications can also help mop up any toxins.
Hope you feel better soon. Please keep us posted.
