Who is this surgery for?
- Chronic Cervicitis: Persistent inflammation of the cervix not responding to medication.
- Cervical Ectropion (Erosion): When glandular cells from inside the cervical canal are present on the outer surface, often causing excessive mucus discharge or spotting.
- Benign Cervical Polyps: Removal of small, non-cancerous growths on the cervix.
- Persistent Post-Coital Bleeding: Bleeding after intercourse linked to a cervical cause.
- Abnormal Cervical Discharge: Excessive or irritating discharge due to cervical inflammation.
- Pre-treatment before other procedures: To create a clearer surgical field for certain diagnostic tests.
How to prepare
- Consultation: A thorough discussion with your gynaecologist about medical history, symptoms, and expectations.
- Pelvic Exam & Pap Smear: To confirm the diagnosis and rule out more serious conditions like cervical dysplasia or cancer.
- Timing: The procedure is ideally scheduled for the week after your menstrual period to ensure you are not pregnant and for better visualization.
- Medication Review: Inform your doctor about all current medications, especially blood thinners.
- Empty Bladder: You may be asked to empty your bladder just before the procedure.
- Consent: Providing informed consent after understanding the risks and benefits.
Risks & possible complications
- Mild to Moderate Cramping: Similar to menstrual cramps during or after the procedure.
- Vaginal Discharge: A watery, pink, or brown discharge may occur for 2-4 weeks as the tissue heals.
- Spotting or Light Bleeding: Minor bleeding is common for a few days.
- Infection: Rare risk of pelvic or cervical infection, indicated by fever, foul-smelling discharge, or severe pain.
- Cervical Stenosis: Rarely, scarring can cause narrowing of the cervical canal, potentially affecting future menstrual flow or fertility.
- Incomplete Treatment: Occasionally, a repeat procedure may be needed if abnormal tissue persists.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Immediate Rest: Plan to rest for the remainder of the procedure day; avoid strenuous activity for 24-48 hours.
- Pain Management: Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or paracetamol can manage cramping.
- Hygiene: Use sanitary pads instead of tampons. Avoid douching, vaginal creams, or intercourse for at least 3-4 weeks to allow healing and prevent infection.
- Discharge Monitoring: Expect a watery or slightly bloody discharge for several weeks; this is normal healing tissue.
- Follow-up: Attend a scheduled post-procedure check-up (usually 4-6 weeks later) to ensure proper healing.
- Warning Signs: Contact your doctor immediately if you experience heavy bleeding (soaking a pad per hour), severe abdominal pain, fever, or chills.
