The destruction or removal of abnormal cells from the cervix is a medical procedure often recommended when precancerous changes are detected. This therapeutic intervention aims to eliminate diseased tissue, thereby preventing the progression to cervical cancer. Various techniques are employed, including cryotherapy (freezing), laser ablation, and loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP). The selection of a specific method depends on the extent and nature of the abnormality, as well as the patient’s individual circumstances and medical history.
This intervention plays a significant role in maintaining gynecological health and reducing the incidence of cervical cancer. Early detection and treatment of precancerous lesions have drastically improved patient outcomes. Historically, more invasive procedures were necessary to address these issues; however, advancements in medical technology have led to less invasive and more targeted approaches. This evolution has resulted in reduced patient discomfort and shorter recovery times, while maintaining high efficacy rates in eliminating abnormal cervical cells.
