The cervix is an important part of the female body that connects to the vagina, and its health directly affects the fertility of female friends. Therefore, female friends who have cervical diseases need to receive timely treatment. Especially women of childbearing age have a higher risk of developing cervical diseases, some of which require surgical treatment. So, will LEEP surgery affect pregnancy?
It can be clearly stated that cervical conization surgery does not affect pregnancy. However, due to the removal of some tissue from the cervix after surgery, its function may be affected. The cervix is the gateway to the uterus and plays a role in transporting sperm during fertilization. When sperm pass through the cervix, they gain energy in the cervical mucus, which facilitates their movement and union with the egg in the uterus. If the cervix is removed too deeply, it may cause a decrease in cervical mucus, which can affect sperm retrieval.
LEEP cervical conization generally does not affect pregnancy, gestation, or childbirth. However, cervical cancer can occur because once diagnosed, it is not a cervical lesion that needs to be removed. The entire uterus, including the cervix, even the fallopian tubes, ovaries, and pelvic lymph nodes need to be removed. This is the most significant issue that leads to infertility or inability to conceive.
However, female friends need to pay attention to avoiding sexual intercourse within 2 months after LEEP surgery, which may affect the healing of cervical wounds or cause vaginal inflammation. After treatment, it is necessary to keep the external genitalia clean and wash them frequently with clean water. Change underwear and sanitary pads frequently.
