Does the LEEP surgery for cervical erosion have side effects?

Patient's question:

I have been feeling uncomfortable in the gynecology department for a long time. I have a condition called cervical erosion, but I have never had a detailed and thorough examination. When I went to the hospital, the doctor said this needs to be operated on. Hearing about the surgery made me feel quite sad, but delaying it would only make things more troublesome in the future. I would like to consult here whether the Lippert knife surgery for cervical erosion has any side effects?

Doctor's answer:

If there is cervical erosion, surgical treatment may have side effects. After surgery, if the cervix does not heal well or if there is scar hyperplasia, it may affect future pregnancy. Therefore, it is important to assess the degree of erosion. If it is severe erosion, it is recommended to undergo surgery, but after the surgery, there needs to be mutual cooperation in anti-infection or physical therapy to promote wound healing, and active prevention of the spread of infection.
