Leukoplakia may reveal a normal pelvic exam Gynecological examination: an important component of women's health   speculum. Leukoplakia is thus defined as a single or multiple dense whitish plaques on a background of unchanged stratified squamous epithelium. After that, the doctor should establish whether this be a precancerous leukoplakia disease or not. To do this, first performed colposcopy Colposcopy - how to prepare it properly?   - A detailed endoscopic examination of the cervical epithelium using optical equipment. An experienced physician is already based on colposcopy may suggest there are any signs of malignancy (degeneration into cancer).

But this is not enough. Diagnosis must be confirmed through laboratory testing. For this purpose swabs taken from the modified surface of the epithelium, or a piece of tissue (biopsy) and cytological (cell) and histological (tissue slices) study. Leukoplakia considered harmless in the event that the epithelium basal layer underneath is not changed. If found in the basal layer changes (atypical, unlike the rest of the cells), it is considered a precancerous leukoplakia disease and should be deleted.

In order to identify the cause of leukoplakia conducted bacteriological crop nutrient discharges to the environment (identified infection), ultrasound of the pelvic organs, if necessary - hysteroscopy - a study of the mucous membrane of the uterus using a hysteroscope (endoscopy).

How to treat cervical leukoplakia

Treatment of leukoplakia of the cervix should be comprehensive and take place only after a thorough examination and to identify the reasons that caused it. If during this survey were identified infectious and inflammatory gynecological processes, their well being treated with subsequent laboratory control.

The most effective and at the same time sparing technique is today considered the removal of leukoplakia radiosurgery using radionozha (Surgitron apparatus). Wherein the affected cells are vaporized, and located close to the healthy cells are not damaged. The method is painless, non-contact, tissue coagulation occurs via radio waves of high frequency. This pathological tissue cells evaporate. Modern equipment allows to exclude the heating of the electrode, its contact with the tissues, as well as painful muscle contraction or stimulation of nerve endings when passing waves through a woman's body.

Such exposure causes burns and scars, so it can be used to treat women who are planning a pregnancy in the future.
