Erosion, pseudo-erosion, ectopia, exocervicosis , cervicitis, dysplasia, leukoplakia ... This list can be continued for a very long time. As you may have guessed, all these medical terms refer to the cervix. Such a large number of diseases of this part of the reproductive system is associated with a high prevalence of viral, bacterial and somatic diseases. Cervix is a unique place in the body of a woman, where there is a junction of two different in nature types of epithelium, as well as contact with a variety of vaginal microflora.
If you ask a obstetrician-gynecologist what disease he sees more often than others when viewed in mirrors, then the answer will be predictable - erosion of the cervix . To date, the term erosion is understood to mean a whole group of diseases, different in nature. This explains the lack of a common view of the problem among gynecologists. Treatment of erosion is also rife: with uncomplicated ectopia of the cervix, therapy can not be performed at all, limited only to observation, but with high-grade dysplasia, the treatment will be surgical and radical.
What is the laser vaporization of the cervix?
The last achievement of science is the laser vaporization of the cervix. Laservaporization of the cervix is based on the heating of living cells with a laser beam, which leads to their necrosis, that is, death.
The advantage of this method before radical surgery lies in its low traumatism. To carry out laser vaporization of cervical erosion, one does not need to be hospitalized in a hospital, it is enough to visit a gynecological office. The procedure lasts an average of 15 to 20 minutes, vaporization of the cervix is performed under local anesthesia, unpleasant sensations and bleeding are absent. It is best to perform laserovarization of the cervix on the 8th-9th day of the cycle.
Before laser vaporization of the cervix, consultation with a gynecologist is necessary, supported by the results of colposcopy and laboratory tests necessary for accurate diagnosis and successful treatment.
