Cervical erosion and recurrent vaginal discharge are common gynecological issues that can cause discomfort and increase the risk of infection. Dr. Akshata Bhatnagar provides advanced LLETZ (Large Loop Excision of the Transformation Zone) / LEEP (Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure) treatments to safely remove abnormal cervical tissue, restore cervical health, and prevent complications. Her approach combines accurate diagnosis, minimally invasive procedures, and personalized care for optimal results.

What is LLETZ/LEEP Treatment

LLETZ/LEEP is a minimally invasive procedure that removes abnormal or eroded cervical tissue using a thin wire loop with electrical current. It is highly effective in treating cervical erosion, pre-cancerous changes, and recurrent vaginal infections caused by abnormal cervical cells. This procedure allows precise removal of affected tissue while preserving healthy cervical tissue.

Why Does It Happen

Cervical erosion and recurrent vaginal discharge occur due to chronic inflammation, infections, hormonal imbalances, or previous untreated cervical lesions. Left untreated, these conditions may lead to persistent discomfort, repeated infections, and in some cases, pre-cancerous changes. LLETZ/LEEP offers a safe solution by addressing the root cause and restoring cervical integrity.
