Diathermocoagulation of the cervix

Many gynecological diseases require timely treatment. Delaying treatment may lead to severe complications and problems in the future. Cervical pathologies, including erosion, dysplasia, and erythroplakia, are successfully treated using the diathermocoagulation method.

Diathermocoagulation is a modern technique used for treating cervical diseases. It is based on the cauterization of erosion with electric current through conization, which causes pathological tissue to gradually detach, while healthy cells remain unharmed.

Indications and Contraindications:

Diathermocoagulation of the cervix is indicated for the following conditions:

• erosion or pseudo-erosion;
• mild to moderate dysplasia;
• leukoplakia;
• ectopia with significant cervical damage;
• endometriosis;
• polyps, cysts, acute condylomas, and other formations on the cervix and vaginal walls.

Conization is not recommended if:

• there are inflammatory gynecological conditions (cervicitis, endometritis);
• cervical cancer is present;
• there are blood clotting disorders;
• there are heart rhythm disturbances from congenital heart defects;
• during pregnancy and the early post-partum period;
• during menstruation.

How to Prepare for Cervical Conization:

Before cervical manipulation, the patient should undergo comprehensive examinations to determine the cause and type of inflammation and to rule out contraindications. The gynecologist may order blood tests, a smear for flora, tests for sexually transmitted infections, cytology, epithelial tissue sampling from the cervix, and colposcopy.

Procedure Features: Process, Advantages, and Disadvantages:

The diathermocoagulation principle involves excising a cervical cone using a thin wire loop charged with high-frequency electrical current. Under local anesthesia, a special electrode is used to cauterize the affected area and damaged vessels. The procedure lasts about 30 minutes.

Treatment with conization removes erosion, leaving a scar. Surface epithelialization, or tissue renewal, completes within 1.5-2 months. The risk of bleeding, infection, and other complications with loop electrosurgical excision is significantly lower compared to traditional knife methods. However, loop treatment isn't advised for patients who haven't given birth.

Advantages of Diathermocoagulation for Cervical Erosion:

The advantages of cervical conization in our clinic include:

• significant effectiveness;
• professional physicians;
• accessibility owing to a broad clinic network and reasonable costs;
• straightforward execution;
• minimal complication risk.

Do not postpone cervical erosion treatment. The extensive experience of physicians and modern equipment at the "Dobrobut" medical network ensure effective results and safety in diathermocoagulation.
