LEEP (Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure) at Medihope Hospital & Fertility Centre

At Medihope Hospital & Fertility Centre, we offer the Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP) to effectively treat abnormal cervical cells that may lead to cervical cancer if left unaddressed. LEEP is a minimally invasive, precise technique that uses a thin wire loop heated by electric current to remove abnormal tissue from the cervix. This procedure is a highly effective option for treating moderate to severe cervical dysplasia and is commonly recommended following abnormal Pap smear results.

What to Expect During and After the LEEP Procedure

The LEEP procedure is typically done on an outpatient basis and takes only about 10 to 20 minutes to complete. During the procedure, our specialists use local anesthesia to numb the cervix, ensuring patient comfort. The heated wire loop carefully removes the abnormal cells while sealing blood vessels, which minimizes bleeding. After LEEP, patients may experience mild cramping and discharge, which usually subsides within a few days. Most women can return to normal activities within a day, but it’s advised to avoid heavy lifting or intense exercise for a week.

Comprehensive Follow-Up and Continued Care

At Medihope, we prioritize patient safety and thorough follow-up care after a LEEP procedure. Our gynecology team provides clear post-procedure instructions and schedules follow-up appointments to ensure healing and monitor for any recurrence of abnormal cells. We are committed to providing compassionate, patient-centered care every step of the way, with a focus on early detection and effective treatment to support women’s long-term health.
