By Luisa Sharpe


Disease, abnormal or damaged body tissue can all be treated using various methods that are available today. Cryo services in one method that can be applied in these situations. In order to get rid of pain and inflammation, get rid of diseased areas and the reduction of metabolism, extremely low temperatures are used.

Cryosurgery is a procedure that is used to destroy abnormal cells that are located on the cervical area. These cells would normally become cancerous if they are not removed in good time thus becoming malignant. Most medical practitioners recommend that this procedure should be performed. However, this will entirely depend on how severe the condition is and is normally based on results from biopsy samples that are taken from parts of the cervix.

The cryosurgery procedure involves the insertion of a specialized instrument into the vaginal canal and is firmly placed against the cervix. Once the instrument completely covers the cervix with the abnormal cells, liquid nitrogen is let out to flow through the instrument at a temperature of -50 degrees Celsius.

The abnormal cells are destroyed slowly by the low temperature after which the cell are left to slough off slowly in about two to three weeks. The cervix is left to freeze for three more minutes before the procedure is completed. It is then left to thaw after which the whole procedure is repeated for an additional three minutes.

You may feel some pains in the lower part of the abdomen during the initial process as a result of the cervix being exposed to subnormal temperatures. The pain may be felt worse than the pain experienced during menstruation. However, the pain will soon disappear after a few hours following the procedure. As the procedure nears its completion, the pain will slowly reduce as the cervix adjusts to the subnormal temperature.

The body system should be left to relax for the rest of the day after cryosurgery is performed. After at least 24 hours from the surgery, regular activities can be resumed as usual. Some women may experience an increase in the amount of vaginal discharge. To avoid any more side effects, no item should be inserted into the vagina until two to three weeks have elapsed.

Activities that should be avoided during the recovery period of two to three weeks include sexual intercourse, douching and insertion of tampons. When it comes to killing as well as getting rid of the abnormal cervical cells, especially if they are in the lower part of the cervix, cryosurgery is more often than not very effective. This has been proven in at least 85% of such cases which have turned out successful.

Cryosurgery is associated with some risks, just like many other procedures similar to it. The risks are however minimal and the patient should be prepared for any such eventualities. This will help in fully preparing the patient psychologically on what to expect after the procedure. Pain, fever, yellow discharge and vaginal bleeding that is not related to menstruation, are some of these signs. These should be reported to the doctor immediately the signs get worse.
