While your annual pelvic exam isn’t the highlight of your year, it’s still something you have to do. Most often, you’ll get a clean bill of health and get on with your life. But if you ever do get an abnormal result, you want to know what’s going on — and fast.
That’s when you might need a loop electrosurgical excision procedure, otherwise known as a LEEP. When a cervical exam or Pap test reveals abnormal cells or growths, your gynecologist may order a cervical LEEP as a way to extract a biopsy, a thin amount of tissue, from the lower part of your genital tract, such as from your cervix and/or vagina.
The LEEP tool is a thin wire loop, through which an electric current passes. The device, heated by electricity, acts as a scalpel that can cut a very thin layer of tissue off the surface of your cervix or vagina. This tissue is then sent to a lab for analysis. After the LEEP has cut away abnormal tissue, the remaining healthy cells can continue to grow.
