Cryosurgery, also known as cryotherapy, is a gynecological procedure that uses freezing gas to destroy abnormal tissue in the cervix. It can be performed in a doctor’s office or outpatient procedure room while the patient is awake. The procedure usually takes around 10–20 minutes.

After your cryosurgery, you will have a watery discharge for 2-3 weeks. Some patients report mild period type cramping and light bleeding. If you have any concerns about your symptoms, please contact the office.

Avoid having sexual intercourse, using tampons or inserting anything into the vagina during this time period.
