There are quite a number of methods that can be used to treat diseases, abnormal or damaged body tissue. One of these methods is the application of cryo services. This is whereby cold temperature is applied to reduce inflammation and pain, as well as reduce metabolism or completely get rid of the diseased area.

Cryosurgery is described as a procedure that is applied in order to cause the destruction of abnormal cells which are found on the cervix. If not removed, these cells may result in cancer of the cervix. The procedure is often recommended by a medical professional depending on the severity of the condition, based on the biopsy results from tiny sections of the cervix.

During cryosurgery specialized instrument is inserted into the vagina and placed onto the cervix firmly. The cervix and the abnormal cell are covered completely by the instrument and nitrogen which is in liquid form is released at a very low temperature of 50 degree celsius.

The low temperature functions by killing the abnormal cells, leaving them to get out of the cervix slowly within a period of between two to three weeks. Before the procedure is completed, the cervix is usually exposed to freezing for an additional three minutes. After this, it is allowed to thaw and the whole process is conducted again for three more minutes.

Due to the extremely low temperature that is applied directly to the cervix, a feeling of cramping may be experienced by the patient in the initial process. The pain might get worse than the regular menstrual cramping and clear off within the same day. Once the cervix adjusts to the low temperature, the cramping steadily reduces as the procedure heads for completion.

You must ensure that after the procedure, your body will be kept relaxed at least until the day is over. You can resume your normal activities the next day after undergoing the procedure. You may notice a light increase in the amount of discharge, and for you not to worsen the situation, invasive activities should be completely avoided.

The insertions of tampons, sexual intercourse as well as douching are all activities that should be avoided during the two to three week recovery period. Cryosurgery can be considered as a fairly effective procedure that helps in killing and getting rid of the abnormal cervical tissue that is affected by disease especially when they are in the lower region of the cervix. In at least 85% of the cases in which cryosurgery is applied to get rid of the cells, the outcome is 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.
