Summary:One hundred and eighty-two women treated with cryotherapy were included in the study. In cases of chronic cervical inflammation full recovery was observed in 86% of subjects. In cases of Naboth cysts full recovery was observed within 6 to 8 weeks in 89% of women. In cases of cervical erosions full recovery was observed within 6 to 9 weeks in 84.9% of women. In women, with cervical epithelium dysplasia full recovery was observed within 7 to 11 weeks in treated subjects. Renewal of the pathology was observed in 15% of the women with treated cervicitis and in one of the women with cervical dysplasia within 2 to 5 years of follow-up.
