Cryotherapy for Abnormal Cervical Cell Changes
Why It Is Done
Cryotherapy is done when abnormal Pap test results have been confirmed by Reference colposcopy Opens New Window. If the results of Reference endocervical curettage Opens New Window do not show abnormal tissue high inside the cervical canal, then cryotherapy can be used to treat the abnormal tissue seen with colposcopy.
