What is LEEP Procedure?

Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP) is a treatment method used to remove abnormal cells from the cervix, which are often identified during Pap tests or colposcopy exams. This procedure uses a thin wire loop that carries an electric current to cut away the unwanted tissue, allowing for quick recovery and minimal discomfort. LEEP is highly effective for preventing cervical cancer if precancerous changes are detected early.
