Does the LEEP procedure cause recurrence after treating cervical erosion?

Patient's question:

I have undergone infrared heat therapy in the past. Since the treatment was limited to the surface of the cervix, it may not have been possible to control the depth of the treatment effectively, leading to the incomplete elimination of inflammation in the deep tissues of the cervix. As a result, the erosion may only be temporarily cured, with the underlying cause not being fully addressed. Additionally, due to cervical reinfection caused by vaginitis, the condition may still recur after some time. Will the cervix still be affected after LEEP treatment for cervical erosion?

Doctor's answer:

The loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) is a relatively advanced method for treating cervical diseases. It promotes rapid wound healing with minimal skin damage, aiding in recovery. However, it does not guarantee absolute prevention of recurrence. Even after complete healing, diligent and scientific care is necessary to effectively reduce the likelihood of cervical disease recurrence. It is recommended to maintain good hygiene in the private area, consume fewer spicy and irritating foods, and seek timely treatment for conditions such as vaginitis or cervical inflammation.
