What does cervical conization mean?

Cervical conization refers to the surgical removal of part of the cone-shaped tissue of the cervix, which is mainly used to diagnose or treat cervical lesions.

Cervical conization is one of the common gynecological surgical procedures. By removing the diseased tissue of the cervix, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia or early cervical cancer can be clearly diagnosed. The surgery is usually performed under local or general anesthesia, and the doctor uses tools such as an electrosurgical knife, laser or cold knife to remove the cone-shaped tissue of the cervix. The removed tissue will be sent for pathological examination to clarify the nature and extent of the disease. Cervical conization can not only be used for diagnosis, but also for the treatment of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia to prevent the further development of cervical cancer. The cervix will gradually heal after surgery, but regular check-ups are required to ensure that the lesions have not recurred.

After cervical conization, you need to pay attention to rest, avoid strenuous exercise and heavy physical labor, and prevent wound bleeding. Do not have sex for two weeks after surgery and avoid bathing and swimming to reduce the risk of infection. You should maintain a balanced diet and eat more foods rich in protein and vitamins to promote wound healing. A review is required one month after the operation, and the doctor will decide on the subsequent treatment plan based on the pathological results and recovery status. If you have symptoms such as abnormal bleeding, fever or abdominal pain, you should seek medical treatment in time.
