Will using electric knife to treat cervical erosion affect fertility?

1. Electrosurgery to treat cervical erosion generally affects fertility.

2. Cervical erosion is a physiological phenomenon of the outward migration of cervical columnar epithelium, and generally has no clinical symptoms. When there is a concurrent infection, abnormal vaginal discharge may occur. The cause is usually related to changes in estrogen levels in the body, and can generally be divided into mild cervical erosion, moderate cervical erosion, and severe cervical erosion. Electrosurgery usually uses a high-frequency electrosurgery to remove eroded tissue through electrical and thermal effects to achieve the purpose of treating the disease. Patients with moderate cervical erosion and severe cervical erosion can achieve better treatment effects with this method. However, after the removal of normal cervical tissue, the cervix will contract softly, cervical insufficiency may occur, and threatened abortion, miscarriage, and premature birth may occur, which has a certain impact on fertility. If there is a need for fertility, electrosurgery is generally not recommended. If the patient has mild cervical erosion, the results of the cervical liquid-based cytology examination are normal, and there is no high-risk human papillomavirus infection, and generally no treatment is required.

3. In daily life, patients should pay attention to local hygiene, avoid sitting baths during menstruation, avoid sexual intercourse, and change menstrual pads frequently to reduce inflammation and infection. At the same time, they should keep clean, avoid high-risk sexual behaviors, reduce the number of sexual partners, and use condoms to reduce the risk of papillomavirus infection.
