Getting The Best Cryo Services And How They Work

By Luisa Sharpe


Today, there are several methods that can be used to treat tissue that are abnormal or damaged, as well as illnesses. Cryo services forms a part of the many methods that can be used. In this method, the application of low temperature is used to heal a diseased area, minimize pain and swelling and minimize the rate of metabolism.

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 cervical cells are destroyed by the low temperatures and they begin to slowly slough off until around two to three weeks after the procedure. The cervix is usually frozen during the procedure, and takes about three minutes. After the freezing it is left to get thawed and for three more minute, it is frozen again.

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.

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.

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.
