What happens during cryosurgery?
Cryosurgery is performed in your doctor’s office while you are awake. It is similar to a pelvic exam: You will be asked to undress from the waist down, lie on an exam table with your feet in stirrups, and a speculum will be inserted into your vagina to hold the vaginal canal open so that your cervix can be seen. However, that’s where the similarity ends.
