Colposcopy is a noninvasive procedure where a device similar to a microscope magnifies your cervix to make abnormal growth easier to see. LEEP is used to diagnose and treat cervical dysplasia and conditions like genital warts and polyps.
LEEP stands for loop electrosurgical excision procedure. It is also called large loop excision of the transformation zone, or LLETZ.
LEEP stands for Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure. It's a treatment that prevents cervical cancer. A small electrical wire loop is used to remove abnormal cells from your cervix. LEEP surgery may be performed after abnormal cells are found during a Pap test, colposcopy, or biopsy.
