Does minimally invasive surgery on the cervix lead to infertility?

Patient's question:

My best friend recently wasn't feeling well and went to the hospital for a check-up. She had a minimally invasive surgery for cervical erosion degree 2. Will this lead to infertility? Does it affect fertility?

Doctor's answer:

Minimally invasive treatment involves using various physical methods to destroy the single-layered columnar epithelium on the cervix, causing it to become purulent and fall off, so that it can be covered by new stratified squamous epithelium. Common methods include electrocoagulation and cryotherapy. Although minimally invasive treatment has a certain cure rate, it also has certain side effects and requires regular follow-up tests after treatment. Cervical erosion is a serious condition, and patients are advised to seek timely treatment and follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, dietary issues should be paid attention to, avoiding spicy and irritating foods to prevent worsening the condition.
