Use of liquid nitrogen in frozen therapy procedures

Liquid nitrogen is liquid nitrogen whose temperature is very low, minus 200 degrees Celsius. In the medical world, one of the advantages lies in the main ingredients of the frozen therapy procedure (cryotherapy). Frozen therapy is a method of freezing tissue containing very cold liquid nitrogen to be destroyed.

Liquid nitrogen is also a very valuable substance to preserve various parts of the human body. Blood, bone marrow cells, spermatozoa, eggs and embryos are examples of cells and tissues that can be stored in the laboratory with liquid nitrogen. This liquid can be used as a scalpel and is also used to treat some skin problems
Frozen therapy for treating warts

The general method for removing warts is to use the method of freezing therapy (cryotherapy). The treatment process for warts with very cold liquid nitrogen usually takes less than a minute and is done 3-4 times in intervals of 2-3 weeks.

When you follow frozen treatments to treat warts, your doctor may first cut it with a small knife. After that, super cold liquid nitrogen will be applied to the warts. Usually using cotton or spray. Although it can cause pain, this procedure does not usually require anesthesia.
 
Liquid nitrogen for the treatment of tumors

Cold nitrogen liquid therapy can also be used to destroy tissue that develops abnormally in the body, such as tumors. The application of very cold liquid nitrogen to abnormal tissue will result in damage and death of cells in the tissue.

The application of cold medicine for this purpose generally involves tumors or precancerous lesions on the skin. Several types of tumors in the body can also be treated with this method.

In the body, the application of cold therapy uses liquid nitrogen, one of which is used to treat non-cancerous bone tumors. The use of cold therapy is considered more effective in reducing the risk of joint damage compared to surgery. The use of this method is also considered to reduce the risk of amputation.
 
Cold therapy in the treatment of cancer

The use of liquid nitrogen in cryosurgery procedures (surgery with cold therapy) is also known in the treatment of cancer and precancerous conditions. Besides being effective in the treatment of prostate cancer and liver tumors, the following conditions are also effective in the case of cold treatment:
  • Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, which is a precancerous condition of the cervix (cervix). In this phase, abnormal changes occur in cervical cells and can turn into cervical cancer.
  • Actinic keratosis, which is a precancerous growth in the skin.
  • Early-stage skin cancer, both as a basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma.
  • Low-grade bone cancer, in which cancer cells are only slightly abnormal.
  • Retinoblastoma, a cancer that affects the retina of the eye and often occurs in children. Cold treatment procedures are considered safe for removing small tumors in some parts of the retina.

Like other treatments, frozen therapy using liquid nitrogen is also risky, although it tends to be lower than the risk of surgery or radiation therapy. This treatment is only done if the doctor considers it necessary. Consult your doctor further for complete instructions on implementation procedures, risks and treatments that must be taken after experiencing them.
