Treatment for CIN
Treatment for CIN is usually performed
in the clinic but about 10% of the time
the woman needs a general anaesthetic
either because the area that needs
treating is too large or because a woman
finds it too uncomfortable.
Treatment can be in
the form of excising a piece of tissue
from the cervix or destroying it.
Methods of destroying pieces of tissue
include LASER ablation, diathermy, and
cold coagulation. Methods of excising a
piece of tissue include Loop cone
biopsies (LLETZ, LEEP), cold knife cone
biopsies, and LASER cone biopsies.
It is usually for a
doctor to advise against intercourse for
four weeks after treatment to the
cervix.
