How should I take care of myself after Lipknife surgery?

In daily life, cervical disease in women is a relatively common physical disease, and Lip knife is a common way to treat cervical disease. Lip knife can effectively remove cervical lesions and also achieve the effect of repair. After Lip knife, you also need to pay more attention to conditioning your body so that you can recover faster. You should pay more attention to hygiene, eat more nutritious food, and refrain from sexual intercourse.

A follow-up visit or telephone call should be made one week later to examine the surgical wound and inquire about the pathological results. If the postoperative pathology is the following, close follow-up is required: cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN); carcinoma in situ; cervical CIN combined with condyloma acuminatum; flat cervical warts, etc.; 1-2 weeks after surgery, the cervical wound will shed its scab and begin to bleed a small amount, which will stop on its own in about 4-6 weeks. If the bleeding is more than the menstrual volume or gradually increases, return to the hospital for bleeding stop. Follow-up visit 1 or 2 months after surgery to check wound healing, apply topical medication to promote epithelial repair if necessary; flush; refrain from riding a bicycle or lifting heavy objects for 1 month after surgery. First of all, you should be in a good mood! Don’t think too much! Remember to get more rest after the operation, and you should take some anti-inflammatory drugs.

Try not to do heavy work, no bathing in a tub, no riding a bike (I persisted for 2 weeks and walked all the time). Diet: Try not to eat spicy food, and don't eat irritating foods (such as seafood, kelp, shrimp, crab, black fish, beef, lamb, rooster, etc.). After LEEP surgery, there will be vaginal bleeding for 4 to 8 weeks. This is normal and there is no need to worry. It is recommended to take a rest after the surgery, avoid mental stress, pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva, do not eat spicy and cold foods, and take some anti-inflammatory drugs. If there are signs of inflammation, you can actively treat it.

LEEP knife technology uses a series of ring-shaped tungsten wire electrodes to treat various cervical lesions and is currently an advanced method for treating cervical diseases.

3. Technical principle of Lip Knife

The LEEP knife uses a high-frequency radio knife to pass through the LOOP metal wire. The tip of the electrode generates 3.8 MHz ultra-high frequency (microwave) waves. The moment it touches the body tissue, the tissue itself

It generates impedance, absorbs radio waves to generate high heat, and makes the water in the cells form steam waves to complete various surgical purposes such as cutting and hemostasis, but does not affect the pathological examination of the tissue at the edge of the incision. The principles of high-frequency radiofrequency surgery are different from those of traditional electrosurgical surgery: traditional electrosurgical surgery uses the impedance of the electrode itself, and high heat is generated by the passage of current to achieve the purpose of surgery. The output frequency is 0.3-1.0 MHz, while the heat energy converted by the radio frequency of the high-frequency radiofrequency surgery is generated inside the tissue. The sine wave generated by the radio frequency causes the water in the cells to oscillate, generating heat and evaporating. The cells contacted by the emission technique rupture, thereby separating the tissues, and the radio frequency emitter itself does not generate heat.

Compared with traditional Bohm light, cryotherapy, microwave, and clear light therapies, the latter are based on the principle of tissue carbonization, so they are likely to cause cervical scarring. The former overcomes this problem well because it uses variable frequency radio waves. After recovery, the cervix is ​​very smooth and will not leave scars. Moreover, since the LEEP knife removes the eroded surface, it generally does not recur. In addition, the LEEP knife has the following advantages.

It can achieve very delicate surgical effects that traditional electric knives cannot achieve.

The phenomenon of tissue pulling and carbonization caused by traditional electric knives rarely occurs, and the damage to surrounding tissues is small.

The pain is reduced, the chance of scarring is small, and complications (bleeding and infection) are less.

There is no danger of electric current passing through the body.

The electrode pads do not need to be coated with electrode paste, and there is no risk of burns to the body.

The operation is short, averaging 3-5 minutes, simple, painless, and inexpensive, using only local anesthesia.
