Cryosurgery at Gangnam Severance Hospital

Cryosurgery is a procedure that employs extreme cold, typically using liquid nitrogen or argon gas, to destroy abnormal or diseased tissue. It is a versatile treatment, applicable to various conditions such as warts, precancerous cells on the cervix, and other abnormal tissues. The procedure may induce some pain, lasting up to three days post-operation, and full recovery is generally achieved within two weeks.

The treated area usually heals in about 7 to 10 days, with minimal chances of leaving a scar. Post-treatment care is crucial, involving keeping the area clean and avoiding activities that may hinder healing, such as douching, using tampons, or engaging in vaginal intercourse for 2 to 3 weeks following cryosurgery for cervical treatments.
