Leukoplakia of cervix uteri - treatment

Many practicing gynecologists are well acquainted with a disease such as cervical leukoplakia , since this disease is widespread among women in their reproductive years.

Leukoplakia looks like a white spot with irregular contours on the cornified epithelium, covering the vaginal part of the cervix. The spot may have a smooth or papilliform surface.

Despite the high rate of spread of the disease, there is no single approach to the treatment of leukoplakia of the uterus. This is due to the fact that on the one hand this disease is a background process, and on the other hand it is a precancerous condition.

Leukoplakia is simple and proliferating (atypical cells are formed, which contribute to the development of malignant neoplasms).

In any case, the treatment of cervical leukoplakia has as its goal the complete elimination of the pathological focus.

Methods of treatment of leukoplakia

It should immediately be noted that it is impossible to cure leukoplakia with folk remedies. Treatment should be carried out under close medical supervision.

The use of various tampons and syringes with decoctions of herbs can only exacerbate the condition and cause a number of complications.

The choice of method of treatment of this disease depends on the type of pathology, the size of the affected area, the age of the woman.

  1. At a young age, radio waves and a laser are used to treat leukoplakia of the cervix. At a more mature age, radiosurgical conization and diathermoelectroconjonization are more often used.
  2. Laser coagulation is a safe and simple method that does not cause severe bleeding and stucco formation. Removal of leukoplakia by laser is performed on an outpatient basis for 4-7 days of the cycle without anesthesia.
  3. Radio wave treatment of cervical leukoplakia involves the use of heat for cutting and coagulation of tissues, which is excreted by high-frequency waves of a surgical electrode. After the application of radio waves, wound healing is much faster.

In addition to these methods also apply: cryodestruction , chemical coagulation, electrocoagulation. But the treatment of this pathology of the female genital area is not limited to the removal of the lesion affected by the leukoplakia. It should be supplemented with antibiotic therapy, hormonal, immunostimulating, corrective microbiocenosis treatment.
