Cervical cautery is a straightforward outpatient procedure used to treat cervical erosion (ectropion) or chronic vaginal discharge caused by an inflamed cervix. During this procedure, the doctor applies heat (thermal cautery), cold (cryotherapy), or electric current (electrocautery) to the affected cervical tissue to eliminate unhealthy cells and encourage healthy tissue regrowth. It is a safe, quick, and effective treatment that can significantly improve symptoms such as persistent vaginal discharge, bleeding after intercourse, and recurring infections. India is a trusted destination for cervical cautery due to its skilled gynecologists, advanced equipment, modern women’s health clinics, and affordable treatment packages. VivaVel Health ensures that international patients receive high-quality care, seamless travel arrangements, and compassionate support throughout their journey.
You may be advised to undergo cervical cautery if you have:
Persistent abnormal vaginal discharge (thick, yellow, or foul-smelling)
Bleeding after intercourse (post-coital bleeding)
Chronic cervicitis (inflammation of the cervix)
Recurrent vaginal infections
Erosion of the cervix (cervical ectropion) is seen on examination
Hormonal changes (common in women taking birth control pills or during pregnancy)
Chronic infections (bacterial, fungal, or viral)
Injury to the cervix from childbirth or surgery
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
Long-term irritation from intrauterine devices (IUDs)
Consult a gynaecologist if you:
Experiencing vaginal discharge that does not improve with medication.
Experience bleeding after sex
Have recurring vaginal infections
Experience pelvic pain with abnormal discharge
Have been diagnosed with cervical ectropion by your doctor
Multiple pregnancies
Long-term use of oral contraceptives
Untreated infections
Hormonal imbalance
Poor genital hygiene
Before recommending cervical cautery, your doctor might suggest:
Pelvic examination: to inspect the cervix
Pap smear test: to rule out precancerous or cancerous changes
Colposcopy: a detailed, magnified view of the cervix
Infection screening: to identify bacterial or viral causes
Do’s:
Follow the doctor’s instructions on vaginal hygiene.
Use sanitary pads instead of tampons for any discharge or bleeding.
Take prescribed antibiotics to prevent infection.
Rest for a few days if you experience discomfort.
Don’ts:
Avoid sexual intercourse for 3–4 weeks.
Don’t use vaginal creams, tampons, or douches until advised.
Avoid swimming or hot tubs until fully healed.
Don’t ignore unusual symptoms like foul-smelling discharge, fever, or heavy bleeding.
Recovery & Outlook:
Mild watery or blood-stained discharge may last 2–3 weeks.
Most women resume normal activities in 1–2 days.
Complete healing occurs in 4–6 weeks.
Cervical cautery is highly effective, and recurrence is rare if the underlying cause is treated.
