Im 28 years old and just had a beautiful baby girl 6 months ago. My post delivery pap smear came back as abnormal. After having a colopscopy and biopsy done the results came back as low grade vaginal dysplasia. My OB told me to use a cream called Aldara for 10 weeks (twice a week) so I did! about a month later my dad passed away and I have been under continuous stress and one thing after another seems to be going wrong!! so when I went for my next colopscopy and biopsy just recently it showed that my vaginal dysplasia had gone from mild to moderate and now I have also developed dysplasia on my cervix!! I was religiously using Aldara like my OB had suggested but it seems to have made it worse!!! now he has told me to try another cream called efudex(sorry am not sure if thats how you spell it!) has anyone had any experience with this cream or with Aldara? am really confused, as I thoroughly researched Aldara before I used it and really thought it would help diminish the dysplasia altogether! thanks for any help!! confused girl! |

Congratulations on the birth of your daughter. Thank goodness your Dad knew he was a Grandpa! I am sorry for your loss of your Dad. You have had many life changes in a short period of time and then this health issue on top. Not an easy time for you that is for sure.
I would get a second opinion from a gynecologist/oncologist. Your issues are not related to obstetrics. If you have vaginal dysplasia you want to make sure that you don't have abnormal cells in the vagina as well. OB is fine for delivery of baby but now you have abnormal cells you should get a specialist. Don't just mess with the creams as your pathology reports are getting worse and not better. If there is a women's healh center at a University Hospital near you that might be the place to go as they usually have reproductive health clinic and gyne/onc in same clinic. Check out medline.gov or pubmed.gov and search cervial dysplasia for more information.
