9. Electrocautery for Removal

If a person chooses or requires cyst removal, the gynecologist may recommend electrocautery. This procedure uses electricity to create heat. The gynecologist then uses the heat to remove the cyst from the cervix.

Besides the probe that transports the electrical current, the practitioner will also use a grounding pad that connects to a part of the patient's body, such as their thigh. This pad prevents the electricity from harming the patient.11‘Cryotherapy: Uses, Procedure, Risks & Benefits.’ Cleveland Clinic, my.clevelandclinic.org/health/treatments/21099-cryotherapy.
