Leep procedure doctor in Brooklyn, NY

What is LEEP?
Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP)LEEP is short for Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure. The procedure uses a fine wire loop heated by an electric current to remove tissue & cells from the cervix. The hot loop acts as a surgical knife.

This procedure is used as part of the diagnosis & treatment of abnormal or cancerous conditions in women.

LEEP operation uses a wire loop that carries a low-voltage electrical current to cut away a thin layer of abnormal tissue.

It’s typically performed after abnormal cells are found during:

Pap Smear Test (Paps)
Colposcopy
Cervical biopsy

What Can I Expect After the LEEP Procedure?
Many women experience mild cramping and pain for a day or two following the procedure. Spotting and vaginal discharge commonly occur for a few weeks after the LEEP procedure. It’s important to not douche or use tampons for several weeks following.

In general, women should wait 3-4 weeks after the procedure before having vaginal intercourse. This will allow your cervix to heal & helps reduce the risk of infection.

Consulting with your gynecologist is crucial to determine if LEEP is the best option for you, considering these contraindications.
