Patient's question:
A gynecological examination revealed severe cervical erosion. What are the effective treatments that do not affect fertility?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Some people believe that physical therapy methods for cervical erosion (such as laser) may lead to infertility, which is actually an incorrect view. Cervical erosion itself can cause infertility and definitely requires treatment. However, if the erosion is severe, medication may be costly, time-consuming, and require a lot of effort (if the erosion is moderate to severe, clinical experience shows that treatment typically takes 2 to 3 months; some people with a good response may recover faster, while others may need more time). Therefore, for patients with severe cervical erosion who have not been able to conceive, it is recommended to use physical therapy methods such as laser. This method is fast-acting, and during treatment, you should inform your doctor about your fertility goals so that the procedure can be performed more superficially to avoid affecting the function of the cervix. Even in cases of cervical adhesion, it can be resolved by a simple procedure.
