Has anyone ever had cervical cryotherapy?

Question

Does it hurt? How long does it last? Tell me your experience and how it feels.

Dante I dont think you know what this is. You are a guy - there is no way you could have gone through this.

Answer 1

ITS FREEZING THE CERVICAL CELLS, USUALLY TO REMOVE PRE CANCER OR OTHER THINGS, SLIGHT DISCOMFORT AND IS OVER QUICKLY

Answer 2

cyrotherapy is performed in your doctor's office while you are awake. It is similar to a pelvic exam:
you will be asked to undress from the waist down,
lay on an exam table with your feet in stirrups,
a speculum is inserted into your vagina to hold the vaginal canal open so that your cervix can be seen

Cryotherapy uses special instruments called cryo probes.
During cryosurgery the cyro probes are inserted into your vagina until they firmly cover the abnormal areas of cervical tissue.

Next, liquid nitrogen begins to flow through the cryo probes at a temperature of approximately -50 degrees Celsius.
This causes the metal cryo probes to freeze and destroy superficial abnormal cervical tissue.
The most effective treatment result is obtained by freezing for three minutes, letting the cervix thaw, and repeating the treatment for three more minutes.

How will I feel during cryosurgery?

You may feel some slight cramping.
You may experience either a sensation of cold or of heat.

What happens after cryotherapy?
You can return to most normal activities the day after cryotherapy; however, there are a few things you should take note of for the first two to three weeks following treatment:
It is normal to experience a watery discharge for the first few weeks. This is caused by the sloughing of dead cervical tissue.
Do not insert anything into the vagina for at least two to three weeks. This means no tampons, no douches, and no sexual intercourse.
You should call your health care provider if any of the following occur:
Fever. Your doctor should inform you before you leave the office what amount of fever is cause for alarm following cryosurgery.
Vaginal bleeding that is heavier than you normally experience during your menstrual cycle.
Pain. Some slight cramping is normal, however, any severe or increasing pelvic pain should be reported to your doctor immediately.
Foul smell or yellowish vaginal discharge. These can indicate an infection which may need immediate treatment.

Answer 3

I had one a few years ago. Procedure is still the same today. I was afraid of what to expect before I had it done, but it was not as bad as what I thought it would be. I did not have any discomfort during the procedure except it felt a little cold. A couple of hours later I had cramping like I was on my period, but a little more uncomfortable. It was worth what little pain I had because I was having it done because of cervical cancer. They had to do the freezing twice but it got all the cancer cells. Hope this helps a little. Good Luck!
