A gentle method for nulliparous women
Unlike electrocoagulation and laser, chemical exposure does not create deep thermal damage and does not leave a dense scar that can interfere with the dilation of the cervix during childbirth. That is why the method is traditionally preferred in nulliparous women with small areas of ectopia. The drug is applied pointwise under the control of a colposcope; the procedure takes a few minutes and is practically painless. Typically 2-3 treatments are required at cycle intervals. An important limitation: the method only works for superficial changes - for dysplasia confirmed by cytology and biopsy, conization is required.
Outpatient gynecology
A significant part of gynecological problems are solved by procedures that do not require hospitalization: local administration of drugs, treatment of the cervix, restoration of patency of the fallopian tubes, therapeutic massage.
What they all have in common is a short turnaround time, no anesthesia and the ability to return to normal life on the same day. Many are assigned a course and the outcome is assessed upon completion.
When are the procedures performed?
Most manipulations on the cervix and in the uterine cavity are performed in the first phase of the cycle, immediately after the end of menstruation. The reason is that during this period the endometrium is thin, the risk of bleeding is minimal, and the tissues have time to heal completely before the next cycle.
Required condition
Before any intrauterine intervention, a smear on the flora and examination for infections are required. Carrying out the procedure during an inflammatory process can lead to its spread into the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes.
