The LEEP was successful. I won't attempt to explain in case I get something wrong, but I do know, that it is good news. :)

It means there weren't any abnormal cells that extended beyond the margin of the removed tissue. That's good news! Now you just need to prevent it from coming back.

Wow you're doctor works fast! I had mine done January 10th and they told me they would post the results online in 3-4 weeks. I agree with what was said before. It seems like they removed all the bad cells and now you'll just have to be monitored for reoccurence.

Clear margins means the abnormal cells are gone in all spots surveyed.
You can still have the HPV virus, so take care of your health.
