Is laser treatment for cervical erosion effective? Does laser treatment for cervical erosion affect fertility?

The female cervix is ​​located in a special position in the body and plays an important role in female reproduction. Cervical erosion is a common gynecological disease that poses a great threat to women's health. Patients with cervical erosion should be treated promptly, especially women of childbearing age. There are many ways to treat cervical erosion, and the methods used vary depending on the severity of the cervical erosion. So, is laser treatment of cervical erosion effective? Will it affect female fertility?

1. Can laser treatment of cervical erosion be effective?

Laser treatment of cervical erosion has a relatively good effect, but it may also bring certain defects to patients. Laser treatment will cause a certain degree of trauma to patients, and it is easy to relapse. Laser mainly sterilizes and disinfects some eroded tissues on the surface of the cervix, which can effectively relieve the initial clinical symptoms, but cannot completely disinfect the eroded tissues, so it may cause symptoms of recurrence of cervical erosion. Many friends think that there will be immediate improvement after laser treatment, but there may be recurrence after a period of time. Laser treatment may produce scarring lumps on cervical tissues, which will have a certain impact on women's future sexual behavior and fertility, so laser treatment is not the best treatment for cervical erosion. .

2. The principle of laser treatment for cervical erosion

Laser treatment for cervical erosion utilizes laser thermal coagulation to destroy the function of diseased tissue, turning the target tissue into a dry, solid necrotic coagulant; the laser carbonizes the eroded tissue to form a scab, and after the scab falls off, the wound surface is covered with new squamous epithelium, thereby healing the eroded surface; at the same time, the laser thermal coagulation sealing has anti-inflammatory, analgesic and hemostatic effects.

When women with cervical erosion are treated with laser, the treatment time is usually 3 to 7 days after the menstruation is over. The patient takes the lithotomy position, disinfects and covers the vagina, and uses a vaginal speculum to gently open the vagina to fully expose the cervix and fully clear the cervical secretions. After disinfection again, use a laser treatment device to burn from the outer edge of the eroded surface to the cervical opening in a circular manner from the outside to the inside. If bleeding occurs, the distance can be extended to thermally coagulate the cervix to stop bleeding. It should be noted that the treatment range should exceed the eroded surface by 2mm; at the same time, the operation should avoid burning the surrounding normal cervical tissue to avoid leaving scars and causing infertility.

3. Does laser treatment of cervical erosion affect fertility?

Will laser treatment of cervical erosion affect fertility? If the condition is not treated actively, the chance of malignant tumors will increase in the future. Therefore, active treatment must be taken when cervical erosion is found. Currently, the most commonly used method for treating cervical erosion is local treatment, such as laser therapy, microwave therapy, etc., although they have a high cure rate. However, these treatment methods will cause certain damage to the body. Even if the doctor is skilled in the operation and has a moderate control over the breadth and depth of the operation range, laser or microwave treatment will still have a certain impact on fertility.

Warm reminder: Patients with cervical erosion can choose drug treatment or minimally invasive physical therapy, etc. These treatments are effective, and patients should choose treatment methods based on their personal conditions. Physical laser treatment may cause recurrence of symptoms in patients. Patients also need to pay attention to personal hygiene in daily life, keep local tissues of the human body clean and dry, change sanitary napkins frequently, wash underwear frequently, and expose underwear to the sun for disinfection.
