Help with understanding pap smear report?

Let me try and explain this as best as I can so you understand. I know it's a scary and difficult time. I actually just had the LEEP procedure done yesterday. So lets start at the beginning. You had an abnormal pap and it must have showed that you have possible precanerous cells or they wouldn't want to do a coloscopy. I had my colopscopy about three weeks ago. Yes it does hurt but take ibuprofein before and it really helps. The test is crucial to find out how far the precancerous cells are and what step to take. If they are telling you that you are Cin 1 thats good. That's mild and the lowest form of precanerous cells. I was Cin 3 which is severe. That is why I had the Leep test done. You should be asking your obgyn why they are scheduling a leep procedure for Cin 1. It shouldn't be needed for you. There are better options like freezing or something that are less painful and less dangerous. Sometimes with Cin 1 the cells will even heal themselves but your obgyn would know that. Ask all the questions you can to keep yourself in the loop. My Dr also was not very forthcoming with info so I researched it all online. Don't take what they say lightly because remember you are talking about cervical cancer if they don't take care of the abnormal cells now. To answer what leep is, its a procedure which cuts off a part of your cervix that has the abnormal cells. Then in a month I go back to see if the cells are growing back normal or not. It wasn't too painful, but some cramping after. Good luck with everything and I hope I helped a little.
