Cervical dysplasia

Cervical dysplasia is one of the most common ailments of the female reproductive system. The disease does not cause symptoms, but is classified as potentially dangerous because it can provoke cancer. Modern medicine has the ability to remove atypical cells and prevent negative consequences.

Diagnosis of dysplasia

Examination of the patient in order to detect dysplasia begins with an examination by a gynecologist. With the help of special mirrors, the doctor can detect changes in the mucous membrane of the cervix. If cervical defects are found, additional procedures are prescribed to clarify the diagnosis.:

• colposcopy,
• histological analysis,
• PCR is an immunological study.

These methods make it possible to identify the location of the disease, the type of atypical cells and the type of human papillomavirus, since its presence or absence determines how further treatment will take place. It should be noted that dysplasia and cervical cancer are different from each other. Dysplasia is a pathology of the structure and maturation of mucosal cells, while oncology implies the rapid development of mutated malignant cells.

The prices of tests for cervical dysplasia depend on the level and technological equipment of the clinic and the country in which the woman is being examined.

Treatment of cervical dysplasia

Modern medicine has several ways to treat dysplasia that can remove the neoplasm without surgery.

Laser treatment is performed by burning out a focus of atypical cells with a laser beam. Abnormal cells are heated and destroyed without affecting healthy tissues. The price of laser treatment of cervical dysplasia varies from several tens of thousands of rubles in Russia to a thousand or one and a half thousand dollars in Germany.

Radio wave treatment is performed using a spherical-tipped electrode that generates high-frequency waves. It is injected through the vagina to the cervix and a high-frequency discharge is applied. Under the influence of an electric pulse, atypical cells separate from the mucosa and die. Prices for radio wave treatment of cervical dysplasia vary depending on the country, the technological equipment of clinics and the experience of attending physicians.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a new treatment for dysplasia. This method uses a photosensitizing agent to increase the photosensitivity of pathological cells. Then, when the light beam is directed, atypical cells die. The price of PDT for cervical dysplasia varies from one hundred thousand rubles in clinics in Russia to several thousand dollars in the USA, Israel and Korea.

Treatment results
In general, reviews about the treatment of cervical dysplasia using modern methods are positive. Of the side effects, patients note slight bleeding and fever for several days after the procedure.
