LeAnn Rimes took to social media to reveal that she had undergone surgery to remove precancerous cells.

黎安·莱姆斯在社交媒体上透露，她已经接受了切除癌前细胞的手术。

“January is usually a challenging month for me. Over the past couple of years, I’ve either been going through dental surgeries or recovering from a vocal hemorrhage around this time, which was all pretty depressing,” Rimes, 41, shared in an Instagram post on Saturday, January 13. “But I have to say, this January has been joyful and easeful. However, yesterday, I underwent a minor surgery and I wanted to share what I went in for because I think it’s an important reminder to get our annual screenings in order to catch changes that may be taking place within the body early on.”

“一月对我来说通常是一个充满挑战的月份。在过去的几年里，我要么做了牙科手术，要么在这个时候从声带出血中恢复过来，这一切都很令人沮丧，”41岁的莱姆斯在1月13日星期六的Instagram帖子中分享道。“但我不得不说，这个一月过得很愉快，也很轻松。然而，昨天，我做了一个小手术，我想分享一下我做了什么，因为我认为这是一个重要的提醒，要进行年度检查，以便及早发现体内可能发生的变化。”

The “How Do I Live” songstress said she has been having abnormal pap smears since age 17, which her doctors had been “keeping an eye on.” However, after her last abnormal pap smear and colposcopy, Rimes discovered she had “high grade cervical dysplasia.” (According to the Cleveland Clinic, cervical dysplasia is a precancerous condition where abnormal cells grow on the surface of your cervix.)

这位演唱《How Do I Live》的女歌手说，她从17岁开始就有异常的子宫颈抹片检查，她的医生一直在“密切关注”这一点。然而，在她最后一次异常的巴氏涂片检查和阴道镜检查后，莱姆斯发现她患有“高度宫颈发育不良”。(根据克利夫兰诊所的说法，宫颈发育不良是一种癌前病变，宫颈表面生长着异常细胞。)

“I consulted with my doctor and we jointly decided that a LEEP procedure would be in my best interest in order to remove the high grade, abnormal, pre-cancerous cells,” Rimes explained, adding that she elected to be under anesthesia for the procedure. “I’ve had enough trauma in my life already, so I prefer to be out and comfortable. That, my friends, is advocating for your overall mental wellness and comfort and I HIGHLY recommend it!”

莱姆斯解释说:“我咨询了我的医生，我们共同决定，为了移除高级别、异常的癌前细胞，LEEP手术对我最有利。”她补充说，她选择在麻醉下进行手术。“我的生活中已经经历了足够多的创伤，所以我更喜欢出去，舒适地生活。我的朋友们，这是在倡导你的整体心理健康和舒适，我强烈建议你这样做!”

Rimes highlighted the importance of her opening up about health challenges, especially as someone who “has a platform.”

莱姆斯强调了她对健康挑战敞开心扉的重要性，尤其是作为一个“有平台”的人。

“So, ladies, please don’t put off getting your annual pap. My men, too … make sure you get your annual physical, minus the pap smear,” the singer noted, adding that “annual screenings and early detection can be lifesaving.”

“所以，女士们，请不要推迟每年的pap检查。我的男人也会……确保你每年做一次体检，不做子宫颈抹片检查，”这位歌手补充说，“每年的筛查和早期发现可以挽救生命。”
