Aadya Khan, a 32-year-old primary school...
Aadya Khan, a 32-year-old primary school teacher and mother of two, had been experiencing persistent, watery vaginal discharge and occasional spotting between periods for over a year. A routine Pap smear revealed abnormal cells (CIN 2), confirmed by a colposcopy and biopsy. Her general surgeon, Dr. Mehta, explained that a Cervical Excision (a LLETZ procedure) was necessary to remove the precancerous tissue and prevent it from developing into cervical cancer. Aadya was terrified, associating any procedure near her cervix with fertility risks and fearing for her future ability to have more children. The procedure itself, done under local anesthetic, was quick but emotionally charged; she felt pressure and mild cramping. Recovery involved light bleeding and cramping for a week. Her follow-up test six months later showed clear margins and normal cells. The immense relief washed over her, replacing months of anxiety. She felt empowered, having taken proactive control of her health, and her fear transformed into gratitude and a commitment to regular screenings.
