"I feel reassured, but there is no guarantee." How do women with a future childbearing desire respond to active surveillance of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2? A qualitative study.

Women felt that worries and check-ups due to active surveillance of CIN2 were disrupting elements in their family planning, although they did not affect their every-day life. Some women, however, were particularly anxious, demonstrating the importance of including women's experiences and preferences in clinical counseling. The fact that fertility treatment was delayed due inconsistent guidelines across subspecialties, suggests a need for a revision of current guidelines.
