Can moderate cervical erosion be completely cured?

Patient's question:

Age
Detailed medical condition and purpose of consultation: Moderate cervical erosion. The doctor recommended physical therapy. However, I heard that physical therapy may affect fertility, which makes me very concerned. I want to know how effective physical therapy is, whether it can be completely cured, and what side effects it has.
Current general condition: Moderate cervical erosion
History of previous diagnoses and treatments, as well as their effectiveness: Never treated before
Additional information: The doctor recommended physical therapy, saying it uses infrared radiation to make the eroded surface fall off and then new tissue grows back. Will this affect fertility? Is this considered laser therapy?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, cervical erosion is a common inflammation of the female reproductive tract. It is classified into three degrees—mild, moderate, and severe—based on the proportion of the erosion area on the cervix. Treatment methods include non-invasive and invasive treatments. Local treatment using medication applied vaginally is a non-invasive approach, but this method is not effective for cervical erosion of moderate or greater severity. Invasive treatment methods involve local cervical treatment using phototherapy, cryotherapy, laser, electrocoagulation, and other techniques. This method may cause minor local damage to the cervix and sometimes affect its ability to dilate during childbirth, but it does not lead to infertility. In fact, severe cervical erosion or acute infections that are left untreated can result in infertility. Therefore, for women who have not borne children and are suffering from cervical erosion without affecting pregnancy or acute infections, cervical laser treatment can be performed after childbirth.
