Does leep affect fertility?

With the development of medical technology, many new medical methods can be used in clinical practice. The Leep knife is one of them. Leep knife, also known as ultra-high frequency radio wave knife, is a professional technology used to treat cervical diseases. But many people have concerns about its effects. Many people are afraid that using leep treatment will affect their fertility, because after all, it is a surgery performed on the cervix, which will cause changes in cervical elasticity.

Leep is a surgical method that generates 3.8 MHz high-frequency radio waves through the tip of the electrode. After it comes into contact with the body, due to the impedance of the tissue itself, it absorbs this high-frequency radio wave and instantly generates high heat to complete the treatment of cervical erosion. First of all, it is certain that traditional physical therapies such as leep knife will affect the stretchability of the cervix and weaken its elasticity. If the fetus is too large during delivery, it may tear and bleed heavily, affecting life safety. In addition, changes in cervical elasticity may also affect the quality of sexual life, making it difficult to achieve orgasm or to be satisfied.

Therefore, LEEP is suitable for female patients who have given birth but no longer have any fertility requirements, have cervical hypertrophy, deep erosion, and CA lesions, while BBT is mainly suitable for female patients who have not given birth, have small and superficial erosion, and have Nabothian cysts. It is painless and non-invasive, does not damage normal tissues, does not leave scars after surgery, and does not affect future sex life quality and fertility issues.

But there is also a saying that the leep knife technology is more mature and is less likely to cause infertility, but it depends on the patient's postoperative recovery. Whether the fetus will be born naturally in the future depends on comprehensive considerations such as the condition of the cervix, the pelvic opening at the time of delivery, the size of the fetus, the fetal position, the vaginal environment, and the mother's own condition.

No matter what the considerations are, physical health is the most important. After suffering from cervical erosion, women should pay attention to it, go to the hospital for treatment in time, inform the doctor of their physical condition and some needs, such as whether they have fertility needs, and then ask the doctor which surgical treatment is most suitable for them.
