Japanese HPV Therapy (feat. Kseniya Sovenko of NYC Rave Girls)
<p>Kseniya Sovenko (<a href="instagram.com/@ksenyeah" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">@ksenyeah</a>) is a former nationally ranked competitive ballroom dancer, writer, and the founder of NYC Rave Girls (<a href="instagram.com/@nyc.rave.girls" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">@nyc.rave.girls</a>). After being diagnosed with HPV, Kseniya discovered she had high-grade cervical dysplasia (CIN3), an advanced type of precancerous cells. She was offered only one option for treatment, called a LEEP - or Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure - but read many reports that the procedure offered inconsistent results and bad side effects. So, in the middle of 2020's global lockdown, Kseniya traveled to Japan on a medical Visa to receive Photodynamic Therapy. Her story is equal parts wild and informative, and I hope you find it as inspiring as I did.</p><p>~</p><p>Share your own story at confessions@aliweissworld.com.
