Ablation of the cervix (endometrium)

One of the modern methods of treatment of gynecological diseases, such as endometriosis, polyposis, erosion and others, is cervical ablation. This special procedure is prescribed in cases when drug therapy is not enough. The procedure provides for quick and painless removal of affected tissues without surgical intervention by specialists of the medical network "Dobrobut".

Ablation, or argon plasma coagulation of the cervix is a progressive non-contact operation, which is used to treat various gynecological diseases (leukoplakia, erosion, dysplasia) arising against the background of disruption of the integrity of the structure of the cervical tissue and inflammatory processes. The procedure involves the use of an electromagnetic field, as a result of which high frequency energy is delivered under the influence of argon and tissue is cauterized.

When to perform the procedure

The decision to treat with argon plasma coagulation of the cervix is made by a gynecologist after evaluating the available information about the patient, examination and necessary tests.

The main indications for prescribing the procedure are:

• endometriosis;
• cystic formations in the cervix;
• erosion, dysplasia;
• leukoplakia;
• rupture of epithelial tissues;
• neoplasms (particularly papillomas, condylomas);
• cervicitis;
• polyposis.

Contraindications to argon plasma coagulation:

• oncologic diseases;
• infections and inflammatory processes of the pelvic organs;
• chronic systemic pathologies in the acute phase;
• blood coagulation disorders;
• allergic reactions to anesthesia;
• pregnancy and recent childbirth.

Advantages of argon plasma coagulation of the cervix

Treatment by argon plasma ablation of the cervix has undeniable advantages. The process consists of rapid, maximally gentle removal of pathological tissues, while there is no contact of the device with the mucosa. Among the advantages of the procedure is also rapid healing of the treated area, the absence of scars and adhesions, preservation of the elasticity of the uterus. Therefore, this is the best method of treatment of erosion in women who have not yet given birth.

Only one session is enough to get rid of serious gynecological diseases. In addition, argon plasma coagulation of the cervix price is moderate.

How to prepare for ablation

The process of preprocedural preparation for treatment with argon plasma ablation for cervical erosion includes the following steps:

1. The doctor prescribes the necessary examination, which may include a flora smear, pelvic ultrasound, colposcopy, urine, blood tests (general, coagulogram, for infections) and cervical biopsy (tissue sampling) as indicated.
2. The patient should have a pregnancy test.
3. Before the ablation process it is necessary to abstain from eating.
4. It is also worth emptying the intestines.
5. Treatment of erosion by argon-plasma coagulation of the cervix is carried out in the first phase of the menstrual cycle.

How the procedure is carried out

Argon plasma ablation of cervical erosion usually lasts about 10 minutes. If necessary, local anesthesia may be used. The gynecologist with the help of a special apparatus directs argon plasma to the treated area, thus the process of local heating and coagulation occurs. As a result, the affected epithelium is cauterized, affecting the damaged tissue, and blood vessels are sealed. During treatment by argon plasma ablation there is no direct contact of the working part of the device with the mucosa.

Results and rehabilitation

The ablation process results in the rejection of cells and the formation of a new layer of cervical epithelium. Argonoplasmic coagulation of the cervix, the consequences are usually only positive. Among the unpleasant symptoms are individually likely to be minor painful sensations, ointment discharge, a longer healing period is possible. In case of any complications, the patient should consult a doctor.
