Patient's question:
I am 30 years old this year, and I already have a child who is now four years old. After giving birth, I experienced two postpartum cesareans, so I have been feeling unwell lately. I have cervical erosion, and it is said that cryotherapy is very effective for treating it. I would like to understand this method?Doctor's answer:
Cryotherapy does not cause scars, so it generally does not lead to recurrent cervical stenosis and is more suitable for women with fertility recommendations. Additionally, cryotherapy causes local blood vessels to constrict while applying medication, resulting in minimal skin breakdown in patients after treatment. Cryotherapy can also enhance nerve sensitivity, providing anesthetic and analgesic effects, making the treatment painless for patients. However, after treatment, there may be increased vaginal discharge, lasting for 2 to 3 weeks. During cryotherapy, peripheral resistance decreases, blood vessels dilate, which can lead to temporary hypotension. The stimulation of ultra-low temperatures can also disrupt vegetative nervous system function, causing symptoms such as dizziness and lower abdominal pain. Therefore, if a patient has cardiovascular diseases, caution should be exercised during treatment.
