Area of Science:
- Obstetrics and Gynecology
- Dermatological Surgery
Background:
- Benign cervical alterations can cause discomfort during pregnancy.
- Traditional treatments may pose risks or be less effective during gestation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the efficacy and safety of cryosurgery for benign cervical alterations in pregnant women.
- To assess cryosurgery's impact on pregnancy and delivery.
Main Methods:
- Cryosurgery was performed on 44 pregnant women with symptomatic benign cervical alterations.
- Treatment was administered across all three trimesters of pregnancy.
Main Results:
- Complete resolution of cervical alterations was achieved in all 44 patients.
- 41 cases resolved after one treatment; 3 required two treatments for extensive chondylomatous changes.
- The outpatient procedure was painless and did not adversely affect pregnancy or delivery.
Conclusions:
- Cryosurgery is a safe and highly effective treatment for benign cervical alterations during pregnancy.
- It offers advantages over surgical or chemical treatments, applicable throughout all trimesters.
