Laser gynecology

Simple, fast, and safe treatment of gynecological diseases with the help of a laser is now available at the gynecology department of the «Oxford Medical» clinic.

The use of a laser allows for interventions to be performed quickly and precisely, significantly shortening the patient’s recovery period. No scars or marks remain after the procedure, which is why laser gynecology is suitable for all women in need of treatment, without exception.

Alternative treatment methods have a number of disadvantages:

• Cryotherapy (using liquid nitrogen) – a superficial method that does not always provide a complete cure;

• Electrocoagulation – leaves scars behind.

Only radio wave treatment with the Surgitron device is comparable to laser therapy in terms of its effect, and it also does not leave scars. However, in some cases, laser exposure provides deeper penetration into the affected layers. Therefore, the final decision—whether to use a laser or Surgitron—can only be made by the doctor after a thorough examination of the patient.

At the «Oxford Medical» clinic, laser technologies are used to treat:

• cervical erosion;

• ectopia;

• cervical ectropion;

• cervical papillomatosis;

• leukoplakia;

• polyps;

• dysplasia;

• genital condylomas and papillomas;

• benign neoplasms of the vulva and vagina.

Contraindications for laser treatment of gynecological diseases may include:

• uterine bleeding;

• malignant neoplasms;

• ovarian cysts;

• certain forms of endometriosis;

• inflammatory and infectious diseases of the genitourinary system;

• blood clotting disorders;

• diabetes mellitus and some other conditions.

In such cases, the gynecologist selects other methods of therapy or recommends postponing laser treatment until the acute conditions are resolved.

Laser treatment at the gynecology department of the «Oxford Medical» clinic is preceded by a consultation and examination by a doctor: pelvic exam, extended colposcopy, Pap smear, and vaginal discharge analysis. If the examination confirms the necessity of laser treatment and there are no contraindications, the specialist schedules the procedure.

Laser treatment does not require general anesthesia and is performed under local anesthesia. The procedure lasts no more than 10–15 minutes, during which the tissues are treated with the laser. After this, the body rejects the pathological cells and initiates the regeneration of new cells—free from pathological changes. During the first day after laser treatment, patients may feel general weakness and mild pulling pain in the lower abdomen.

During this period, there may be discharge with traces of blood or dark flecks—this is the mucosal cleansing process, which typically lasts up to five to seven days. After treatment, it is recommended not to immerse in water or visit saunas, steam baths, or massage rooms (for up to 1 month). Intensive physical activity should also be avoided.

A follow-up visit to the doctor is mandatory after 1.5–2 months to assess the effectiveness of the treatment.
