Cervical cryotherapy for condylomata acuminata during pregnancy.

Abstract

Twenty-eight patients were treated by cryotherapy for cervical condylomata acuminata during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. Most required two treatment sessions before the condylomata resolved. All women responded favorably and none had residual disease at six weeks' postpartum. No neonate was affected. Cryotherapy for cervical condylomata acuminata had no identifiable adverse effect on pregnancy. There were no cases of rupture of membranes or labor starting as a consequence of treatment. There was no scarring to the cervix and deliveries were normal. We conclude that cryotherapy for cervical condylomata acuminata is an effective and safe procedure during the last two-thirds of pregnancy.
