This procedure removes abnormal tissue from your cervix. Your cervix is the thick-walled tunnel that connects your vagina to your uterus. Your uterus is the organ responsible for pregnancies and menstrual periods. LEEP helps us diagnose and treat problems with your cervix. It removes cells that, if left untreated, may turn into cancer.
