Laser Treatment of the Vulva or Vagina in Windhoek

About this service

Laser treatment of the vulva or vagina is laser therapy for abnormal tissue of the vulva or vagina, often following a colposcopy finding, and it is available in Windhoek at Eastgate Clinic. When abnormal cells or lesions are found on the vulva or vagina, laser treatment offers a precise way to remove or treat the affected area while limiting damage to surrounding healthy tissue.

The procedure is carried out in our on-site day theatre under local or general anaesthesia, depending on the area and extent of treatment needed. Your doctor will discuss the findings and explain whether laser treatment is suitable for you.

• Local or general anaesthesia depending on the extent of treatment
