Cryosurgery
Cryosurgery is a procedure in which abnormal body tissues (sometimes referred to as lesions) are destroyed by exposure to extremely cold temperatures.
Cryosurgery is used to treat skin lesions such as freckles (for cosmetic reasons), hemorrhoids, warts, and some skin cancers.
It is also used to treat skin changes caused by the genital wart virus and precancerous changes on the surface of a woman's cervix. These precancerous abnormalities are usually found with a Pap test. (The lesions are also called CIN, or cervical intraepithelial neoplasia.) Sometimes freezing is not an option if the abnormal areas are too large.
Cryosurgery is not done on the cervix if you are having your menstrual period or if you are pregnant.
