Is it? Maybe one of the professionals will put us right on this, but my understanding is that anything where the epithelium is scraped or 'disrupted' is epi-off. I don't think anyone does epi-on in the UK, although there are now some trials of epi-on in Europe.

Hi,

yeh, they kept the epi-on during my procedure. I was absolutely fine after 3 days or so - it was all very well managed and painless
