Patient's question:
Previously, I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with cervical erosion, along with frequent itching and pain. My family members have often advised me to have surgery now. I want to know if having surgery for cervical erosion affects fertility?Doctor's answer:
Post-abortion, sexual activity, sitz baths, vaginal douching, medication administration, and cervical surgery should be strictly prohibited before menstruation resumes. This is because the cervix is lax, the endometrium is shedding, and local defense mechanisms are elevated, making it easy to cause retrograde infection, leading to pelvic inflammatory diseases such as endometritis and adnexitis. Severe cases may result in infertility. It is recommended to wait until a normal menstrual period occurs and then visit the hospital for microwave treatment three days after the period ends. Microwave treatment does not leave scars on the cervix, so it will not affect future fertility. In addition to symptomatic treatment for cervical erosion, patients should also pay attention to their diet, such as eating a light diet and engaging in regular outdoor activities. At the same time, patients should choose a reputable hospital for treatment to ensure a good therapeutic outcome.
