Does cryotherapy hurt?

Cryotherapy is a method of treating genital warts. Generally speaking, using liquid nitrogen to cryotherapy for genital warts is painful, but the pain is within an acceptable range, so patients do not need to worry about the pain being unbearable. However, using liquid nitrogen freezing method to treat genital warts cannot eradicate the root cause. If the patient's immunity is reduced, genital warts are still likely to recur!

1. Does cryotherapy hurt?

Liquid nitrogen freezing treatment is less painful and has quick effects. Use low-temperature liquid nitrogen to partially freeze the corns to death. After two to three days, the corn tissue will turn black and fall off, achieving the therapeutic effect. This method involves only slight discomfort during the freezing process. Relatively speaking, the cost is a little more expensive than external application of medicine.

2. Principles of Cryosurgery

Cryotherapy can also quickly remove genital warts. But there is no way to treat the genital warts virus. Cryosurgery is a treatment method that uses freezing of local tissue to controllably destroy or remove living tissue. Also called cryosurgery. The tissue is frozen rapidly, the temperature drops below 0°C, ice crystals form in the tissue fluid inside and outside the cells, and the cell structure is destroyed. Then the cells become dehydrated, the lipoproteins in the membrane system denature, the tissues suffer ischemic infarction and nutritional deficiency, and eventually necrosis.

3. Will genital warts recur after cryosurgery?

Cryotherapy for genital warts can only remove warts and other growths, but cannot eliminate residual viruses. Therefore, once the body's resistance decreases after treatment, warts will grow again at or around the original site. It is very common for the tumor to recur within one to two weeks after cryosurgery, and most cases recur within three months. The physical and mental damage caused by repeated recurrences of genital warts to patients is immeasurable, and may even cause irreparable impact on family, work, etc. Therefore, the hope of curing genital warts in one go is the common wish of all genital warts patients.

Genital warts can be completely cured in one treatment. The most critical point is whether the genital warts virus can be eliminated. Can immunity be improved in a targeted manner to suppress the virus for a longer period of time and prevent it from invading again?
