Question 1

what is cryotherapy and how it is used?

Accepted Answer

Freezing tissue: Abnormal or cancerous tissue can be frozen and thus destroyed. Has been used in cryoprostatectomies, removal of skin warts and to freeze and destroy enlarged tonsils.

Question 2

can you have oral sex one week after cryotherapy?

Accepted Answer

Where cryo performed: Depends on what part of your body cryo was performed. If cryo performed on cervix, then oral sex should be fine, but avoid vaginal penetration. However, if cryo performed on your vulva/vagina or clitoral area, then I would recommend waiting until area has completely healed, and your clinician confirms that area was successfully treated, especially if genital wart.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Plantar warts: You likely need additional treatment to get rid of them for good.  Recurrence of plantar warts is common.

Question 4

how long do i have to wait to swim after a cryotherapy? i had a cryotherapy 2 months ago but not sure if i can do exercise in the swiming pool.

Accepted Answer

Need more info: What area of the body received cryotx—skin lesion(s), cervix? Need this info to better answer your question. Skin lesions should be healed after 2 months. If cervix, contact doc who did procedure to ask this question.

Question 5

can i swim after cryotherapy on face?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes you can. Make sure to clean the area with some alcohol before swimming to make sure that it is clean.

Question 6

what to expect after cervical cryotherapy?

Accepted Answer

Watery discharge: Cryotherapy is an easy way to remove benign or low-grade lesions off the cervix. The cold acts as an analgesic, pressure is often felt during, & a watery discharge is very common while the freeze melts & the cervix heals.

Question 7

is bleeding after sex after having cryotherapy normal?

Accepted Answer

Did u call your gyn?: Hopefully you already called your gyn who did the cyro, i assume your gyn told you not to have sex until a couple of days after your discharge is totally gone, you need to see your gyn to make sure the cervix is healing properly and does not have an infection, and no more intercourse until you se your gyn.

Question 8

will cryotherapy affect my sex life with my boyfriend.

Accepted Answer

No: You might need a day or few for acute recovery, depending on depth & extent, but will not interfere with function or sensation in long run.

Question 9

i had cryotherapy and found out i'm pregnant will baby be ok?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely: Cryotherapy, a procedure i assume was used with you to destroy abnormal cells on your cervix, simply and literally causes frostbite on the cells affected.  No chemicals or radiation that could have deleterious effects on your baby are used.  The only problem is it could (but apparently didn't) trigger contractions, but is much more likely to occur if the procedure takes place later in pregnancy.

Question 10

i have to have cryotherapy for cin-1. can i swim after this is done in a pool.

Accepted Answer

Cryotherapy : You may shower at any time after the treatment. Avoid tub baths or swimming until the vaginal discharge resolves.
Contact your physician if:
Temperature above 38°C/100.4F
Vaginal bleeding equal to or greater than a normal period
