What Causes Return Of Abnormal Cells And Foci After LEEP Procedure?

so.....here are my questions
1) what are "foci" that he saw when he examined me and what would be the reason to do a pap at that point when he hadn't planned on it and he told me i did not have cancer?
2) just because my pap came back hpv negative doesn't mean it was normal is that correct? i didn't ask that but realized that later because my last pap 2 months ago came back with abnormal cells but hpv negative
3) what would be the reason for seeing him (an oncolgist) again after only 3 months if i don't have cancer and he said he wasn't worried about me developing cancer?
i am starting to realize that i have not asked enough questions.
finally, for some background information, my husband of 17 years is the only person i have ever been with in fact the only person i have ever kissed. and regardless to what any one may think based on this situation he is and has always been faithful and only had one other girlfriend before me.
lastly, since we got married i have been prone to uti's and or bladder infections and often "cure" them by taking azo's right after sex and/or use and antibiotic that i never finished (i know i shouldn't do that) but i have to at least take azo's right after or it turns into an infection without fail. this has been for many years.
final questions: could this infection problem be related to the hpv/dysplasia situation in anyway. i went from all perfect pap smears for decades to CIN 2/3 a year ago christmas in only about a year.
doesn't that seem unusual?
please give me any information and help you can.
p.s. again, i know my situation with my husband seems unusual based on what i have read but can you please respond as if it is true scenario (because it is) and i don't want to hear about that not being a possibility. i am not naive. i just need factual information. i always seem to fall out of the normal range of everything medically and it looks like i do here as well.
thanks,
XXXX
Don't worry
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear and thanks for your query.
I understand the situation you are in but please don't worry while you have done LEEP with cervical biopsy and both PAP-smear are negative.
I will try to give a satisfactory answers to all questions you have done .
First-foci ,means -different group of cervical cells from normal cervical cells ,but while the last Pap smear is negative ,they haven't meaning.
(All the current research shows that the LEEP procedure is curative in 90 percent )
Second-Yes Pap-smear is normal (As you may know ,needed more than 7 -10 years to go from CIN3 to cervical cancer).
Third -It may be only for a simple control ,to clarify 100% those foci .
All the best
