Cervix Cell Treatments
If you have abnormal cells on the cervix, it is very important to
follow up with your doctor. If the problem is mild, your doctor may
want to closely watch your condition to see if the cells heal on their
own. Or your doctor may recommend removing the abnormal tissue. These
are the treatment options:
-
Cryosurgery. Abnormal tissue is frozen off.
-
Loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP). Tissue is removed using a hot wire loop.
-
Laser treatment. A beam of light destroys the abnormal tissue.
-
Cone biopsy. A cone-shaped sample of tissue is removed from the cervix.
After these treatments, you may have vaginal bleeding, cramping, a brownish-black discharge, or a watery discharge.
Even after treatment, it is important to follow up as recommended, to make sure the abnormalities do not come back.
