Treatment for cervical leukoplakia

Leukoplakia is a precancerous disease that is treated with coagulation( cauterization) of the pathological site. This procedure is done thanks to a surgical laser whose radio wave can change approximately five to seven days of the menstrual cycle. Do not forget that this procedure traumatizes the cervix and can lead to considerable complications. When treating it is better not to use tampons with various additives, because this can lead to a tumor. If an infection is detected, treatment will immediately be required. Otherwise, the cervix can heal for a long time. Do not forget that after the first year of treatment you will have to be examined regularly by a gynecologist, at least once every three months. If there is no desire to conceive a child, the use of contraceptives is recommended. Do not forget that the treatment of leukoplakia takes time and patience.

Diagnosis of cervical leukoplakia

It is quite easy to detect leukoplakia for an experienced eye. This is done when examining the genitals, namely, the area of ​​the labia minora, the clitoris. In addition, the gynecologist conducts the examination using a special mirror inserted into the vagina of the patient. The main purpose of diagnosing leukoplakia is to understand the nature and cause of the disease.

What symptoms are manifested, whether the menstrual cycle is broken, the general condition of the patient - everything is taken into account and the type of disease is revealed. During the examination, the main attention is paid to active proliferation and atypia. They can be the cause of leukoplakia. Also, leukoplakia is determined by colposcopy, cytological and histological examination. When diagnosing leukoplakia of the cervix, colposcopy is the determining link. The examination is repeated for the detection and detection of atypia. The use of this method is also capable of revealing other pathological processes that could previously have been undetected by manual examination.

The manifestation of atypia implies two suspected lesions of the uterus:

• In cases where the excretory ducts of the glands are open and protrude above the cervical surface with keratinized margins.

• In cases when a considerable number of affected vessels are seen - varicose veins and prominent point vessels that are located around the glands.

If the patient decides to undergo a diagnosis of leukoplakia, then he needs to undergo a thorough examination, which includes a cytological examination of the body. To obtain the results, pre-scrapes are made from the mucous membrane of the tissues. This study will allow us to find atypical cells, however, we need to carry out the study carefully to avoid incorrect results. And it is for this reason that it is always necessary to do a biopsy with a deep grip. If the leukoplakia is given a positive result, then a biopsy is done immediately with scraping the flattened mucous cervical canal.

Symptoms and course of the disease

As a rule, the whole process passes without any symptoms. When a person has leukoplakia, then itching is possible, very unpleasant and hardly tolerable. As a rule, such cervical leukoplakia is defined as follows:

• Simple. It is not thin and does not rise above the surface of the cervix.

• Scaly or coarse. On the contrary, it rises above the surface of the cervix.

Rough leukoplakia can be seen in the form of whitish plaques. They will be shown against the background of the cervix. Many doctors take leukoplakia as a benign process. But still, with a certain study, one can testify that there is a risk of precancerous process. And to deduce precancerous process it is possible only in that case when histological research of a biopsy of a neck of a uterus will be passed.

Within four to six weeks, while the examination is under way and treatment is under way, it is advisable not to have sex with the risk of even more damage to the cervix. Treatment for cervical leukoplakia should take place in a stable process of body functionality, and as a rule, it is advisable not to fall into stressful situations, so as not to disrupt the hormonal structure of the body or change it.

Causes of cervical leukoplakia

The aetiology of leukoplakia is not well understood to date. Causes of the disease can be many factors, such as endogenous disorders with hormonal homeostasis or exogenous disorders, whether infectious or chemical. Sometimes it is important to involutional adjustment of morphological and functional factors or mucosal disorders of the genital organs.

Leukoplakia with signs of basal cellular hyperactivity and atypia refers more to precancerous processes in the root, given the pre-invasive squamous cell carcinoma that develops in about half of patients with this form of disease. In the other case, in the case of simple leukoplakias, without signs of basal cellular hyperactivity, in general, do not refer to any cases of precancerous processes.

The development of leukoplakia is possible not only on the vaginal part of the cervix. Also in the vulva and mucous membrane on the walls of the vagina, you can also find this disease. Sometimes, in some cases, leukoplakia spreads to the mucosa of the common cervical canal against the background of squamous cell metaplasia of the cylindrical epithelium.

As usual, leukoplakia occur asymptomatically, are found most often with a gynecological examination with questions about other diseases or when the patient is examined by a doctor.

Often this disease indicates a violation of the functionality of the ovaries, can result from the impact on the uterus of the human papilloma virus or herpes simplex virus. Leukoplakia also develops from erosion and looks like a seal on the cervix. Treatment of the cervix is ​​better to start right away and do not delay, it is known that subsequently there may be a risk of infertility.
