Cryotherapy is an hpv treatment that may be elected for cases where ASCUS is shown in Pap smear interpretations of cervical tissue. Cryotherapy is a traditional treatment option for treating symptoms of the Human Papillomavirus. The Human Papillomavirus causes all types of warts in men and women, including genital, flat and plantar warts, along with cervical dysplasia in women. Cryotherapy is performed on an outpatient basis right in a doctor’s office.Cryotherapy has a seventy to eighty percent success rate, with the remainder of people needing more than one Cryotherapy treatment to get rid of the warts or dysplasia on a more permanent basis. When warts are frozen off the dead cells take about 1-2 weeks to heal, and with dysplasia it takes about 2-3 weeks.
Cryotherapy is a method of freezing the infected tissue and may be done several ways. Superficial Cryotherapy involves liquid nitrogen applied by cotton swab to minor external warts.
More extensive hpv related lesions can be frozen faster and to a greater depth with a method of Cryotherapy where a cold cautery device pinpoints warts on the perineum, the cervix and most areas in the vagina. Cold cautery Cryotherapy is usually performed within one week after menstrual flow ceases, though it cannot be used in women who are pregnant.
After Cryotherapy women may experience cramping, abdominal pain, infection or in some more rare cases cervical scarring may occur. Analgesics, usually non-aspirin pain medication given before Cryotherapy and will relieve discomfort. Icepacks are applied externally after the procedure to help reduce any swelling or inflammation that may occur. Anyone undergoing Cryotherapy can anticipate a watery vaginal discharge for approximately ten to twenty days after Cryotherapy and should be considered normal. Following Cryotherapy, a woman who may be experiencing fever, pain unrelieved by analgesics, or unusually prolonged discharge should contact her physician immediately for an evaluation.
Cryotherapy is a common procedure. The word alone sounds a bit frightening, but is one of those things we must encounter. Cryotherapy is a means of preventing cervical cancer. Many women have stated that the anxiety associated with the anticipation of the Cryotherapy procedure seemed senseless once the actual procedure was completed. The pains associated with Cryotherapy are often comparable to those of severe menstrual cramping.
Cryotherapy is often used as a last resort to treat the more stubborn cases of HPV or those that have gone undiagnosed due to the lack of regular Pap examinations. Women who take a more proactive approach in the interest of their own personal health may never endure the procedure of Cryotherapy due to the availability of affective HPV treatments in the form of creams, ointments and lotions. HPV in some cases can heal spontaneously as well.
The best way to monitor any activity of an HPV infection is to hold to the scheduling of regular Pap tests. HPV can oftentimes be a silent infection with little or no symptoms at all. Just because you feel healthy does not always give indication that an HPV infection is not present.
After any Cryotherapy or HPV treatment, the treated area should be kept clean and dry. Simple use of cornstarch used as a dusting, the wearing of cotton underwear and loose clothing are recommended to promote natural healing. Following Cryotherapy sexual intercourse should be avoided until healing has occurred externally and internally. Healing will most generally take anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks.
Follow-up Pap smears are usually scheduled at 3-month intervals after Cryotherapy or treatment of HPV and yearly thereafter as long as the results are within the normal scopes. These tests monitor that the cervix, in particular, remains free of pre-cancerous or cancerous tissue.
A woman with HPV should always notify any sexual partner(s) of her infection, use latex condoms with every partner unless you are in a mutually monogamous relationship and the partner is aware of the HPV risk, and urge that her partner be treated for HPV if his physician has identified HPV lesions. Not only do these measures express consideration for her partner that she herself may not have been offered at the time of infection. These measures will also help to diminish her chances of becoming re-infected with new or different type of human papilloma virus.
If at anytime an unexplainable lesion appears proper diagnosis by a medical professional is strongly advised. In a day and age where sexually transmitted diseases are on the rise in spite of the media attention and health groups focus, one can never been too certain. No one can be responsible for your own health or actions besides you. Become educated on all STD’s not just HPV. There are more viruses out there that show little or no symptoms at all. It is also important to realize that standard std screening and there are currently no tests available for men to detect an infection of HPV.
