Radio wave coagulation of cervical pathologies (safe treatment without scars)

Gentle cervical treatment: no pain, burns, or scars

The diagnosis of “erosion” or “dysplasia” of the cervix often frightens women. Many recall outdated treatment methods (cauterization with current or liquid nitrogen), which were accompanied by pain, prolonged healing, and left rough scars. Due to these scars, the cervix lost elasticity, which could cause problems during pregnancy and childbirth.

Forget these fears! At St. Luke’s Clinic, we apply the gold standard of modern gynecology — coagulation of pathological processes using wide-band radio wave surgery (Surgitron-type apparatus). This is a “cold,” non-contact technology that gently evaporates affected cells, leaving healthy tissues completely unharmed.

Why is radio wave surgery the best choice?

This method is officially recognized as the safest in the world and is recommended for women who have not yet given birth or are planning pregnancy in the future.

• No burns or scars: radio waves do not burn tissues. They act precisely: pathological cells simply evaporate under the influence of high-frequency energy. After healing, the cervix remains perfectly smooth and elastic.
• Bloodless: radio waves instantly “seal” (coagulate) the smallest blood vessels, so the procedure is completely bloodless.
• Antiseptic effect: radio wave energy destroys microbes in the affected area, reducing the risk of postoperative inflammation to zero.
• Accelerated healing: tissues recover 2-2.5 times faster than after laser or cryodestruction (freezing). During healing, there is no unpleasant scab that sloughs off with bleeding.

What pathologies do we treat with this method?

Radio wave coagulation effectively and permanently eliminates a wide range of cervical diseases. The procedure is prescribed by a doctor after an extended colposcopy and PAP test for the following conditions:

• Complicated cervical ectopy (“erosion”) accompanied by inflammation or spotting.
• Mild to moderate cervical dysplasia (CIN I, CIN II) — precancerous cell changes, often caused by human papillomavirus (HPV).
• Nabothian cysts (blocked glands on the cervix).
• Cervical endometriosis.
• Leukoplakia (areas of epithelial keratinization).
• Removal of cervical canal polyps and genital warts.

How is the procedure performed at St. Luke’s Clinic?

The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, most often on days 5-10 of the menstrual cycle.

1. Preparation and pain relief: You will be seated in a comfortable gynecological chair. Since the cervix has almost no pain receptors, the procedure is felt only as a slight pulling sensation in the lower abdomen. For complete comfort, we apply a local anesthetic (spray) or give a micro-injection of pain reliever.
2. Video control: All manipulations are performed by the doctor under the control of a colposcope with multiple magnification. This ensures that no millimeter of pathological area goes unnoticed, and healthy tissues are not affected.
3. Treatment: Using a thin radio wave electrode (in the form of a loop or ball), the doctor non-contactly treats the affected area. The process takes 5 to 15 minutes.
4. Completion: You can immediately get up and return to your normal rhythm of life. Hospitalization is not required.

Rehabilitation features

The period of complete recovery of the mucous membrane lasts about 3-4 weeks. During the first 10 days, clear or slightly bloody (pink) watery discharge is normal.

For successful healing, it is necessary to strictly exclude for 3-4 weeks:

• Sexual intercourse.
• Use of gynecological tampons (only daily pads are allowed) and douching.
• Taking baths, visiting saunas, steam baths, and swimming in pools/reservoirs (you can only wash under a warm shower).
• Lifting weights (over 3 kg) and intense sports.
