What is the difference between cervical conization and LEEP

summary

I always have gynecological disease, and it is more and more serious. I went to the hospital for examination. The doctor said that I could do cervical conization or LEEP. Let me choose one for treatment, but I don't understand it very well. Let's learn the difference between cervical conization and LEEP.

What is the difference between cervical conization and LEEP

First: LEEP knife is a method of cervical treatment. For the cervix, LEEP knife can be used for cervical conization. You can also do electrocoagulation only. If there is no cervical precancerous change, it is usually done by electrocoagulation. It has little effect on the cervix.

Second: LEEP knife and cervical conization surgery is not the same, Lipp knife also known as ultra-high frequency radio knife, mainly under the effect of high temperature to destroy the focus tissue, is a kind of instrument treatment. Conization of the cervix belongs to a traditional operation of the cervix, which is to cut off part of the cervical lesions from the outside to the inside in a conical shape.

Third: LEEP is generally used to treat patients with mild to moderate cervical atypical hyperplasia. This kind of operation is small trauma, and it will not have a great impact on the future fertility. It does not need anesthetics. It can be completed in the outpatient department, and it can be done in about 5 minutes. Cervical conization is generally used for the treatment of severe cervical atypical hyperplasia or carcinoma in situ. Compared with LEEP, the scope of resection is larger, which may affect fertility in the future, and it needs to be performed in the operating room.
