About Cautery of Cervix

Cautery of the cervix, also known as cervical cauterization or cervical diathermy, is a minor outpatient procedure performed by an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist to treat abnormal or inflamed cervical tissue. It involves applying a controlled electrical current (electrocautery) or a chemical agent to the surface of the cervix to destroy problematic cells. This procedure is commonly used to address conditions like cervical ectropion (erosion), chronic cervicitis, or to remove small benign growths such as cervical polyps. The goal is to promote the growth of new, healthy tissue, alleviate symptoms like persistent discharge or post-coital bleeding, and prevent future complications. It is a quick, effective treatment typically performed in a clinic setting with minimal downtime.

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.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 0 days (Outpatient)
  • checked Expected recovery time: 2-4 weeks for complete healing
