Price On RequestCryotherapy is a freezing procedure that destroys abnormal cells by the extreme cold produced by liquid nitrogen (or argon gas). In about six or eight weeks, healthy cells will replace those that were frozen and destroyed. The procedure should be scheduled in the first two weeks after your period starts. Cervical cryosurgery or cryotherapy is a gynecological treatment that freezes a section of the cervix. Cryosurgery of the cervix is most often done to destroy abnormal cervical cells that show changes that may lead to cancer. These changes are called precancerous cells (cervical dysplasia). Cryosurgery is done only after a colposcopy confirms the presence of abnormal cervical cells. Cyrotherapy is also used for the treatment of cervicitis or inflammation of the cervix. Cryosurgery is not a treatment for cervical cancer. Cryosurgery is widely available in gynecologists' offices for the treatment of cervical neoplasias. A limited number of hospitals and cancer centers throughout the country currently have skilled doctors and the necessary technology to perform cryosurgery for other noncancerous, precancerous, and cancerous conditions.Conditions: Cryosurgery may be used to treat primary liver cancer. It is mainly used if surgery is impossible due to other medical conditions. In some cases, chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy may be given before or after cryosurgery. Cryosurgery in the liver may cause damage to the bile ducts and/or major blood vessels, which can lead to hemorrhage or infection.Cryosurgery can be used to treat men at early-stage prostate cancer. It is less well established than standard prostatectomy and various types of radiation therapy. Long-term outcomes are not known. Cryosurgery is not used to treat prostate cancer that has spread outside the gland, or to distant parts of the body.Cryosurgery is also used to treat some types of low-grade cancerous and noncancerous tumors of the bone. It may reduce the risk of joint damage when compared with more extensive surgery, and help lessen the need for amputation. The treatment is also used to treat AIDS-related Kaposi sarcoma when the skin lesions are small and localized.Cryosurgery can be an effective treatment for Retinoblastoma, a childhood cancer that affects the retina of the eye. It is most effective when the tumor is small and localized to certain parts of the retina.Early-stage skin cancers (both basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas) and precancerous skin growths known as actinic keratosis.Precancerous conditions of the cervix known as cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. These abnormal cell changes in the cervix can develop into cervical cancer. Cryosurgery is an adequate treatment for most cases of cervical dysplasia destroying all of the abnormal cervical tissue. But when the cervical changes are located in the upper section of the cervix a cone biopsy, instead of cryotherapy, is prescribed.Cryosurgery is also used to treat tumors in the bone.
