Answers:
If the biopsy comes back as cancerous or precancerous, you need to have some type of surgery to remove the cancerous or pre-cancerous cells. It would be way worse to not remove them! Talk to your doctor about your concerns. He or she should tell you the risks and benefits.

Other Answers:
Cryosurgery involves freezing the abnormal tissue on the cervix with a special probe in the office. It does cause some mild cramping during the procedure, however this usually resolves in several minutes afterward. The biggest complaint afterward is a bad malodorous discharge from the vagina that may take a few weeks to resolve. Cryosurgery is very effective in treating dysplasia, however about 10% of women may have a recurrent lesion in the future. Certain types of dysplasia can not be treated with this technique.

You will likely have a very watery vaginal discharge for 2 to 6 weeks. This may be mixed with some blood. You may need to use menstrual pads during these first few weeks.

*Cryosurgery will not affect your menstrual cycle or cause infertility.* Complete healing of the cervix takes about 3 months.
