Cervical coagulation

Cervical erosion is a common but rather dangerous pathology. By itself, it very rarely causes any symptoms, sometimes women may complain of a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen and atypical discharge. But it should be remembered that erosion on the cervix is an "open" gate for any sexually transmitted infections. Even if a woman has one sexual partner, this is a risk for the female body. Also, cervical erosion can lead to the development of more serious diseases, namely cervical dysplasia and cervical cancer. Therefore, cervical erosion requires treatment.

One of the modern and effective methods of treatment of gynecological diseases, namely cervical erosion, is laser photocoagulation.

It is also used in the treatment of:

• cervical dysplasia,
• ectopia of the cylindrical epithelium of the cervix;
• cysts.

The procedure is carried out with the help of a laser device. The doctor treats the walls of the cervix with a special nozzle and removes abnormal tissue. The procedure is absolutely painless and does not require the use of anesthesia.

The procedure requires some preparation. During a gynecological examination, the doctor determines the localization of erosion, and also takes biological material for microscopy of secretions and cytology. Before the procedure, an ultrasound of the pelvic organs is performed.

Immediately before performing treatment of the walls of the cervix with a laser, the doctor "dries" the vagina with cotton balls and chlorhexidine.

Laser coagulation of the cervix is not performed if the patient has:

• inflammatory processes;
• ovarian cysts;
• endometrial hyperplasia;
• Background precancerous diseases of the cervix (dysplasia);
• pregnancy,
• oncologic diseases of the small pelvic organs;
• diabetes mellitus in the decompensation stage.

The procedure is performed from the age of 18.
