Cervical Cryotherapy
What is uterine cryotherapy?
Freezing the inner lining of the uterus using the cryoablation technique
Many women experience severe pain and heavy bleeding during their menstrual cycles, which in some cases may not be normal. In the past, the only treatment options were the use of hormones or a hysterectomy. However, today, with the help of advanced techniques such as RF and Cryoablation, it is possible to treat the inner lining of the uterus, which is the cause of the heavy bleeding, with minimal side effects and on an outpatient basis.
How Cryoablation Procedure is Performed
Under ultrasound guidance, a cryoprobe is inserted into the uterus through the vagina. Upon contact of the cryoprobe with the uterine tissue and its activation, a frozen tissue ring rapidly forms and spreads. This process leads to the destruction of the inner lining of the uterus.
The preference for cryoablation over surgery
This procedure is performed on an outpatient basis and takes a very short amount of time. It involves very light anesthesia, allowing for a quick return to daily activities.
In other methods, such as the use of hormones, curettage, or hysterectomy, the response to treatment is weaker or more prolonged.
Necessary Preparations for the Procedure
Fasting for 6 hours prior to the procedure.
Carrying all documents related to the illness.
Carrying blood coagulation tests
The presence of one companion for administrative procedures.
Bathing and removing unwanted hair
