Fertility and pre cancerous cells?

is it true that if you have pre cancerous cells removed from your cervix ur fertility will improve
Answer:
No. Your cervix has absolutely no impact on whether you can conceive or not. Having cancerous cells removed from your cervix CAN cause problems later in pregnancy, but it's not guaranteed. It all depends on how much you have removed. If you had a LEEP and only a thin layer was removed, you more than likely won't have any issues. If you had a full conization, your cervix will be VERY thin and weak. You probably won't have any problems actually conceiving, but when your baby becomes larger/heavier (usually around 20 weeks gestation) the weight of the baby could force your cervix to open prematurely, causing a miscarriage. Women CAN carry children to term, but they have to have cerclages (where the doctor stitches your cervix closed to hold the baby in).
I've never heard of this. I've had this procedure done. However I do know that if you have endometrosis, your fertility will improve if you have it removed.
