Patient's question:
These past few days, I had my first gynecological examination and was told I have second-degree cervical erosion, nabothian cysts, and contact bleeding. However, I only experienced bleeding during my last sexual intercourse. The doctor immediately scheduled laser treatment for me. But today, after researching online, I found that laser treatment can affect fertility, and I have not yet had children. Is this true?Additionally, the hospital has arranged intravenous drips and shortwave therapy for me every day, saying my wound is large and this is necessary. But the daily cost is as high as 800 yuan. I would like to ask—is this treatment truly necessary?
Doctor's answer:
Severe to moderate cervical erosion, cervical mucus becomes viscous, containing a large number of white blood cells, which is unfavorable to sperm activity and penetration, and will affect fertility. Therefore, severe to moderate cervical erosion requires active treatment. However, simple medication is difficult to achieve complete recovery, prone to recurrence, and long-lasting. If not treated in time, inflammation can spread, leading to conditions such as pelvic inflammation, adnexitis, and endometritis. In severe cases, it may even result in infertility and the possibility of cancer. Currently, the main treatment for cervical erosion is the "Haijixing" technique, which is an "inside-out" treatment method. It is accurate in positioning, painless and non-invasive, does not damage the normal cervical tissue, leaves no scars, and does not affect the quality of sexual life or future fertility issues. It is particularly suitable for women with fertility requirements.
