What should be done about infertility caused by cervical erosion?

Patient's question:

I have been married to my partner for many years. At the beginning, we were both busy preparing for having a child and were always using contraception. Now that we are older and our jobs are more stable, we want to have a child, but we have been unable to conceive. We went to a hospital in the town for a thorough check-up, and the doctor said that I might have some cervical issues that could interfere. Could cervical erosion lead to infertility?

Doctor's answer:

1. When suffering from this disease, timely treatment must be implemented; regular gynecological examinations (once a year); prevent cervical damage during childbirth or with medical instruments; timely debridement should be performed in case of postpartum cervical laceration.
2. During sexual intercourse, attention should be paid to prevent early, excessive, or frequent pregnancy to avoid breastfeeding. Both childbirth and sexual intercourse can cause cervical injury, creating opportunities for bacterial penetration.
