Cryosurgery in Breast Mass Treatment PTP

Breast lumps are a common concern, with up to 90% of women visiting breast surgeons in Thailand for consultation, screening, or treatment. Among these, around 80% of cases are found to be benign (non-cancerous) tumors. Although not malignant, these lumps can still cause significant anxiety—particularly with the uncertainty of whether the lump might grow or become harmful over time.
In addition, many women worry about treatment methods, such as surgical removal, recovery time, scar formation, and potential changes in breast size or shape after surgery.
To address these concerns, an innovative, minimally invasive technology has been developed: Cryosurgery for breast lumps—a treatment that uses extreme cold to destroy abnormal tissue with minimal discomfort and scarring.

<h2>What is Cryosurgery for Breast Lumps?</h2>
Cryosurgery is a minimally invasive procedure that involves freezing the tumor using extremely cold temperatures. It requires only local anesthesia—no general anesthesia is needed—and the procedure takes just 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the size and number of lumps.
Here’s how it works:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">The surgeon uses ultrasound to locate the lump precisely. 
</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">A Cryoprobe needle, filled with liquid nitrogen, is inserted through the skin directly into the lump. 
</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">The liquid nitrogen is then released, instantly lowering the temperature to below -170°C. 
</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">This process turns the water inside and outside the tumor cells into ice crystals, destroying the abnormal cells. 
</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">After the procedure, only a tiny 3-millimeter scar remains.
</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<h2>6 Reasons to Choose Cryosurgery</h2>
This method is ideal for individuals who:
<ol>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Have been diagnosed with small breast lumps 
</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Have multiple benign tumors 
</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Want to remove all tumors in a single procedure 
</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Are afraid of open surgery 
</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Want to avoid large surgical scars 
</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Are concerned about breast deformity after treatment
</li>
</ol>
&nbsp;
<h2>Post-Treatment Results</h2>
After cryosurgery:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">The treated breast lump gradually shrinks and dissolves over 6 months to 2 years, depending on the individual. 
</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">The body naturally replaces the dead tissue with healthy, normal cells. 
</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Most importantly, the breast retains its shape and appearance, and no disfigurement occurs.</li>
</ul>
