Does physical therapy for cervical erosion affect the quality of sexual life?

Patient's question:

I plan to undergo microwave therapy right after the Spring Festival, but I've been very worried that physical therapy for cervical erosion might affect the quality of sexual life. I haven't given birth yet. If I choose a cesarean section when the time comes for childbirth, but if the quality of sexual life is affected due to treatment, it's a bit worrying.

Doctor's answer:

Hello: It won't make any difference! Some people believe that physical therapy methods for cervical erosion (such as laser treatment) may lead to infertility, but this is actually an incorrect viewpoint. Cervical erosion itself can cause infertility and definitely requires treatment. However, if the erosion is severe, using medication for treatment 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 treatment, as it is more effective. When undergoing treatment, it is important to inform the doctor about your fertility goals and have the procedure performed more superficially to ensure it does not affect the function of the cervix. Even in cases of cervical adhesion, it can be treated by simply clearing it out.
