LEEP
(Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure)
If your pap test was abnormal, you may need LEEP as a treatment. LEEP is
done to remove tissue from the cervix.

Arrive on time for your treatment.
It takes about 15-20 minutes. Plan on
being here at least 1 hour.
Your Treatment
• Your feet will be placed in stirrups. The doctor will use an instrument
called a speculum that will be put into your vagina to keep it open. You
may feel some pressure.
• Medicine is used to numb your cervix.
• A solution is put on your cervix to show abnormal cells.
