Introduction

In general, whether cervical lesions will recur after complete hysterectomy depends on the nature of the lesion. If the lesion is non-invasive, recurrence is unlikely. However, if it is invasive cancer, recurrence may occur. Women should maintain a healthy lifestyle, balanced nutrition, good personal hygiene, and a positive mindset to enhance immunity, and undergo regular follow-up examinations.

In general, whether cervical lesions will recur after total hysterectomy depends on the nature of the lesion. If the lesion is non-invasive, recurrence is unlikely. However, if it is invasive cancer, recurrence may occur. Should any discomfort arise, prompt medical consultation is recommended for symptomatic treatment under the guidance of a qualified physician. The specific analysis is as follows:

If the cervical lesion is early-stage and non-invasive, and a total hysterectomy—including removal of both the uterus and uterine adnexa—has been performed, the primary lesion site has been completely excised. In the absence of residual disease, the likelihood of lesion recurrence is extremely low.

In cases of invasive cervical cancer, cancer cells may have spread via lymphatic or hematogenous routes to other sites, such as pelvic lymph nodes, ovaries, or vagina. Therefore, even after total hysterectomy, regular follow-up examinations are necessary to monitor for distant metastasis or recurrence.

Women should maintain a healthy lifestyle in daily life, including balanced nutrition, good personal hygiene, a positive mental state, enhanced immunity, and regular follow-up checkups.

Can laser therapy cure cervical lesions?

Laser therapy for cervical lesions primarily utilizes the photothermal effect of laser light to heat the affected tissue, causing coagulation, necrosis, and subsequent shedding, which is then replaced by new, healthy tissue. Generally, laser treatment has a high cure rate for mild cervical lesions, such as cervicitis and cervical polyps. It is also effective for low-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia.

Is laser therapy required for cervical lesions?

Under normal circumstances, laser therapy may be required for cervical lesions that are of low grade, limited in extent, and in cases where fertility preservation is desired. However, if the lesion is of high grade or cervical cancer has been diagnosed, laser therapy is not recommended. Additionally, if the patient suffers from severe systemic diseases and cannot tolerate the trauma caused by laser treatment, laser therapy may lead to the spread of inflammation.
