Patient's question:
Last month, our unit's health check-up revealed that I have severe cervical erosion. When I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, they said that my current condition could be effectively treated with simple medication and intravenous fluids. They recommended using the LEEP to treat cervical erosion. Is it okay to use this new device? I don't have a very good understanding of this type of equipment.Doctor's answer:
If you have severe cervical erosion, the best treatment plan is surgical intervention. In general, surgery typically involves using the LEEP (Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure) knife to treat cervical erosion, which is the most effective method. It can directly remove the eroded area of the cervix. After complete removal, healthy tissue remains, allowing for the treatment of cervical erosion. Therefore, if you have cervical erosion, it can be treated using the LEEP knife.
