Perhaps get a second opinion.  I would!   Have you always had normal pap smears?

[mrswright]

yes i found that its either closed or scarred but i am only 25 and have not had that procedure done...so where does that leave me lol??? thanks everyone sooooo much for taking the time to listen and help!!!!

I just googled it and found this:
A stenotic cervix (closed cervix) is a potential negative side effect of treating HPV generated dysplasia via cone biopsy.

I am always interested in learning something I don't know about so I did a little searching myself. It sounds as if when stenotic is used in reference to a cervix, it means it will not dialate. Some cases are due to scarring from what I can find. Please let me know what you find out.

hello, i don't know anything about it either, but how about if you Google the word "stenotic" you may find some usufull info.

I wish I could help you, but I have never heard of this and am not sure what it is either.  I hope you get some answers.  Good luck!
