1 LEEP (Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure) If your pap test was abnormal, you may need LEEP as a treatment. LEEP is used to remove abnormal tissue from the cervix. The cervix is the opening to the uterus or womb. Arrive on time for your treatment. Plan on being here about 1 hour. The treatment itself takes only a few minutes. Fallopian Tube Uterus Ovary Cervix Vagina Labia Your Treatment You lie on your back and place your feet in stirrups. An instrument, called a speculum, is put into your vagina to keep it open. You may feel some pressure. 1
2 Conización por asa de diatermia (LEEP) Si los resultados de su examen de Papanicolaou no fueron normales, posiblemente necesite un procedimiento de conización con asa de diatermia (LEEP, por sus siglas en inglés) como tratamiento. El LEEP se utiliza para extirpar tejido anormal del cuello uterino. El cuello uterino es la abertura del útero. Llegue puntualmente a su tratamiento. Planifique estar aquí alrededor de 1 hora. El tratamiento en sí mismo dura pocos minutos. Trompa de Falopio Útero Ovario Cuello uterino Vagina Labios vulvares, labia Su tratamiento Se recostará de espaldas y pondrá los pies en los estribos. Le insertarán un instrumento llamado espéculo en la vagina para mantenerla abierta. Es probable que sienta algo de presión. LEEP. Spanish. 1
3 Medicine is used to numb your cervix. A solution is put on your cervix to show abnormal cells. A magnifying instrument is used to get a close up view of your cervix. A thin wire loop is used to remove the abnormal tissue. The tissue will be sent to a lab for testing. Your Care after Treatment Your cervix should heal completely in a few weeks. Rest for the next 2 days. You may have some mild cramping. You may have some vaginal discharge for a few weeks. This will be like having a period. The discharge may at first look like brownishblack coffee grounds. In time, this will change to clear and watery discharge. Do not use tampons or have sexual intercourse for 4 weeks. This reduces your risk of bleeding and allows healing to occur. You may take ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin) for pain for the next few days. You will have a follow-up visit scheduled with the doctor. You should have a pap test more often to check for more abnormal tissue. Talk to your doctor about how often you should have this test. 2
4 Se usa un medicamento para adormecer su cuello uterino. Se aplica una solución en el cuello uterino para mostrar las células anormales. Se usa una lupa para ver su cuello uterino más de cerca. Se usa un asa de alambre delgado para extirpar el tejido anormal. Éste se enviará a un laboratorio para ser examinado. Su atención después del tratamiento Su cuello uterino debería sanar completamente en unas pocas semanas. Repose durante los 2 días posteriores al tratamiento. Es posible que también tenga algunos calambres suaves. Puede presentar secreciones vaginales durante algunas semanas. Esto es similar a un período menstrual. En un principio, las secreciones pueden tener la apariencia de cafe molido, entre marrón y negro. Con el tiempo, esto cambiará y pasarán a ser transparentes y acuosas. No use tampones ni tenga relaciones sexuales durante 4 semanas. Esto disminuye su riesgo de sangrado y le permite sanar. Puede tomar ibuprofeno (Advil o Motrin) para el dolor los días posteriores al tratamiento. Se programará una cita de seguimiento con el médico. Debería hacerse exámenes de Papanicolaou con más frecuencia para verificar que no haya tejidos anormales. Pregúntele a su médico la frecuencia con que se lo debe hacer. LEEP. Spanish. 2
