Diagnosis of the cervix
Diagnosis of cervical dysplasia has a number of goals, and one of the main ones is differentiation from the oncological process.
In the course of the study, doctors of foreign clinics apply such procedures:
- Classic gynecological examination in mirrors
- Taking scrapings and smears (including for the RAR test)
- Colposcopy (simple and extended)
- Cervical biopsy followed by histology
Laboratory blood tests (in particular, determination of HPV concentration and strain in the body using PCR diagnostics, a test for cancer markers, etc.)
Having established the cause, form and stage of the disease, the doctor begins to develop a therapeutic strategy. Treatment is etiotropic, symptomatic and preventive.
Treatment of cervical dysplasia abroad
Treatment of cervical dysplasia in foreign clinics involves the help of experienced doctors, the use of the latest technologies and a balanced, responsible approach to the problem. As a rule, therapy involves a combination of surgery and conservative methods. It is possible to manage only with drug exposure in the early stages and subject to compliance with preventive measures in the future.
In the treatment of cervical dysplasia, the following methods are used:
- Drug therapy (with immunomodulators, immunostimulants, interferons and other latest generation drugs)
- Cryotherapy (cauterization with refrigerant)
- Electrocoagulation
- Radio wave destruction
- Laser therapy (argon and carbon dioxide laser)
- Conization of the cervix through a natural opening
- Oral or minimally invasive extirpation of the cervix
Dysplasia in stages I-II is treated by gynecologists, and in stages III and above – by oncogynecologists. Much attention is paid to the prevention of malignancy (malignant degeneration) of the affected tissue. Before extirpation and amputation of the cervix, if any, a woman is recommended to consult with a reproductologist to plan a method of fertilization in the future.
