Reading on will help you know more about these common GYN procedures and surgeries

need for further evaluation of your problem.
Cervical cryosurgery or cryotherapy is a gynaecological treatment, in which a section of the
cervix is frozen. Gynaecologists often recommend of perform Cryosurgery of the cervix for
destroying abnormal cervical cells, which show changes that may lead to cancer. These
changes are called precancerous cells. Your gynaecologist probably uses the term “cervical
dysplasia”. One must also know that “Cryosurgery” is performed only after a colposcopy test
result confirms the presence of abnormal cervical cells. Cryotherapy is also used for the
treatment of “Cervicitis” otherwise known as “inflammation of the cervix”. If your annual
“Pap smear” test indicates the presence of abnormal cervical cells, or cervical dysplasia, only
then will your doctor will prescribe a LEEP procedure. The loop electrosurgical excision
procedure, or LEEP procedure, is one of several procedures your doctor has available to help
diagnose and treat abnormal cervical cells. Other procedures your doctor may want you to
either have before or during the LEEP procedure include - a colposcopy and / or a cone
biopsy. The LEEP procedure uses a thin wire loop electrode, attached to an electrosurgical
generator.
This generator transmits a painless electrical current that quickly cuts away the affected
cervical tissue in the immediate area of the loop wire. This causes the abnormal cells to
rapidly heat and burst, and separates the tissue as the loop wire moves through the cervix.
Hysteroscopy proves to be a sure shot method for your gynaecologist to look inside your
uterus. A hysteroscope is a thin, telescope-like instrument, which is inserted into the uterus
through the vagina and cervix. This tool often helps a physician diagnose or treat a uterine
problem. Hysteroscopy is minor surgery performed either in your physician's clinic or in a
hospital environment. It can be performed with local, regional, or general anaesthesia--
sometimes no anaesthesia is needed. This procedure involves little risk for most women. A
minimally invasive surgical technique, Laparoscopy, is used in procedures such as tubal
ligation, gallbladder removal or hiatal hernia repair. Normally, it is performed in the
outpatient surgery unit of a hospital. However, in most cases, patients can return home a few
hours after a laparoscopic procedure. The D&C or Dilation and Curettage, is one of the most
common surgical procedures performed on women for diagnosing or treating abnormal uterine
bleeding. Moreover, Dilation and Curettage procedure provides important information about
whether uterine cancer is present. Dilation and curettage is also commonly performed
following miscarriage or abortion in cases where the uterus fails to fully empty its content.
