LEEP

LEEP

A loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) involves removing areas of abnormal cell growth from your cervix with a wire loop that has an electrical current running through it. Dr. Gadh/Dr. Danastor uses the loop to cut away a very thin layer of your cervix.

LEEP Q&A

Dr. Gadh/Dr. Danastor may recommend an in-office surgery if you have pain and symptoms that don’t resolve with nonsurgical treatments, like medications and lifestyle changes. She uses in-office surgeries to treat many common conditions, including:

  • Abnormal uterine bleeding
  • Abnormal Pap test results
  • Miscarriage
  • Displaced intrauterine device (IUD)

She may also perform in-office surgery to remove adhesions, which are bands of scar tissue that may develop after an infection or another surgery.

First, Dr. Gadh/Dr. Danastor carefully reviews your medical history and performs a physical exam to make sure you’re a good candidate for surgery. Then, she discusses the best treatment options for your specific condition. She spends time answering your questions so you can make an informed decision.

The details of your procedure vary depending on the type of surgery you need and the severity of your condition. Generally, in-office surgeries use local anesthesia to numb your cervix so you’re awake during the procedure. You may experience some mild cramping and spotting for a few days or weeks afterward.
