Who is this surgery for?
- Treatment of Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia (CIN), specifically CIN I and sometimes CIN II.
- Persistent low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL) identified via Pap smear.
- Management of certain benign cervical conditions like cervical ectropion (erosion) causing discharge or bleeding.
- Treatment of chronic cervicitis (inflammation) that has not responded to medication.
- As a follow-up procedure after an abnormal colposcopy and biopsy result.
How to prepare
- A complete pelvic examination, Pap smear, and often a colposcopy with biopsy are required for diagnosis before the procedure.
- The procedure is scheduled for when you are not menstruating to ensure a clear view of the cervix.
- Inform your doctor about all medications, especially blood thinners, and any allergies.
- You may be advised to avoid sexual intercourse, douching, or using tampons for 24-48 hours before the procedure.
- No special fasting is usually required, as it is a minor office procedure.
- Arranging for someone to drive you home is recommended, though not always mandatory.
Risks & possible complications
- Vaginal discharge (watery, and sometimes heavy) for 2-4 weeks as the treated tissue sloughs off.
- Mild cramping or pelvic discomfort during or shortly after the procedure.
- Spotting or light bleeding, which is usually temporary.
- Rare risk of infection, indicated by fever, foul-smelling discharge, or severe pain.
- Incomplete treatment, potentially requiring a repeat procedure.
- Very rare risk of cervical stenosis (narrowing of the cervical canal), which could affect future menstrual flow or fertility.
- Possible changes in cervical mucus, though uncommon.
Recovery & hospital stay
- You can usually resume normal non-strenuous activities immediately after the procedure.
- Avoid sexual intercourse, tampons, and douching for at least 3-4 weeks to allow for complete healing and prevent infection.
- Expect a watery, sometimes heavy, vaginal discharge for several weeks as the frozen tissue is expelled.
- Use sanitary pads instead of tampons to manage discharge and any spotting.
- Mild cramping can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers as recommended by your doctor.
- Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments, including a repeat Pap smear in 6-12 months, to ensure treatment success.

Aditya Joshi is a 32-year-old software...
Aditya Joshi is a 32-year-old software engineer who has been trying to conceive with his wife for over two years. After a routine fertility workup, his wife was found to have a cervical ectropion (a benign, red, glandular area on the cervix) which was causing persistent, troublesome post-coital bleeding. This was not only a physical concern but was creating anxiety and affecting their intimacy during a stressful fertility journey. Their gynaecologist explained that while the ectropion was harmless, the bleeding could interfere with sperm motility and create a hostile cervical environment. She recommended cryocautery, a simple in-office procedure to freeze the abnormal tissue, as a gentle and effective solution. Aditya, though anxious for his wife, found the procedure itself to be quick. The doctor used a speculum and a cryoprobe, which caused a brief, intense cold sensation and mild cramping. Recovery involved a watery discharge for a few weeks. At their follow-up, the cervix had healed perfectly. The bleeding stopped entirely. Emotionally, it was a significant relief. Removing this physical hurdle lifted a weight off their shoulders, allowing them to focus on their fertility journey with renewed hope and less anxiety.
