A method of forming an insert for vaginal or rectal cryogenic treatment, the method comprising steps of:
- a) inserting an inner molding element into an outer molding element;
- b) injecting a molding material into the outer molding element to form a molded, longitudinally extending container having
- a longitudinal axis,
- an interior,
- a closed forward longitudinal end, and
- one or more radially extending partitions in the interior of the longitudinally extending container which divide the interior of the longitudinally extending container into two or more separate, longitudinally extending chambers having rearward openings at a rearward longitudinal end of the longitudinally extending container, the inner molding element being configured to form the one or more radially extending partitions and the longitudinally extending chambers in the interior of the longitudinally extending container;
- c) removing the inner molding element from the outer molding element;
- d) delivering a thermal material, for chilling and/or freezing, through the rearward openings into the two or more separate, longitudinally extending chambers;
- e) placing a cap molding element on the outer molding element;
- and then
