- Cervical Stenosis: Useful in cases of cervical stenosis, which can be related to:
- Dysmenorrhea: Painful menstruation often linked to cervical narrowing.
- Infertility: Cervical stenosis is sometimes considered a possible cause.
- Post-Procedure Complications: Stenosis resulting from cauterization or conization.
Laminaria is also employed for:
- Placement and Removal of Intrauterine Devices (IUDs): Aids in safe and effective IUD management.
- Induction of Labor: Used to promote cervical ripening before labor.
- Improving Visualization at Colposcopy: Enhances the view during colposcopic examination.
