My fiancée had electrocautery for a lesion and abnormal cells on her cervix about one year ago. Her latest pelvic exam disclosed new abnormal cells, and a PAP smear revealed HPV strains 56 and 58. Her ObGyn has scheduled another electrocauterization ASAP, followed by two more procedures over the next 8 months, claiming it will take 2 years for her to heal. We think this treatment plan is unconventional and are seeking a second opinion. The doctor says she does not have cancer, but her cells are at least precancerous. She has had a C-section 5 years ago due to a narrow birth canal and has had increased vaginal discharge for the last 2 years. What should we do?
