CERVICAL DYSPLASIA, HPV & ESCHAROTIC TREATMENTS
ScaRring is a potential result, and the procedure does not treat the underlying cause of the abnormal cells: the HPV infection itself. |
HPV, or human papilloma virus, is a sexually transmitted virus that, in certain cases, has the ability to progress to cervical dysplasia—the presence of abnormal cells on the cervix—or, in rare cases, progress to cervical cancer. Conventional treatment for cervical dysplasia involves watching and waiting, and sometimes performing a LEEP (Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure) that uses a thin, low-voltage wire to remove abnormal tissue (and along with it, normal tissue as well). Scaring is a potential result, and the procedure does not treat the underlying cause of the abnormal cells: the HPV infection itself.
For this reason, some women choose to pursue alternatives to conventional treatments for cervical dysplasia and HPV. Alternative treatment commonly consists of an anti-viral protocol and, depending on the case, local treatment to the cervix itself. Escharotic treatment involves the application of natural substances that cause the abnormal tissue to die and slough off. These treatments are commonly performed 2 times a week for 5 to 6 weeks. Herbal and vitamin suppositories are also used to aid in the regrowth of normal tissue. Despite this being a somewhat time consuming procedure, many women find it gentler and more effective than a LEEP, with little risk of the formation of scar tissue.
