I am having a 2nd Leep soon as the 1st one didn't remove enough tissue. Does anyone know if this is very risky as far as my future health and so on?

Welcome!


Did your doctor explain the risks to you?

I agree you should ask your Dr.. but my personal opinions are that it shouldn't affect your fertility.. My sister had a few leeps and never had trouble conceiving.. plus I've had a cone biopsy (which is more extreme) and they say I can still get pregnant but carrying a baby to term wouldn't be safe w/out stitching my cervix because they weakend it (luckily I"m done having babies). I'd say if anything, having a leep and getting rid of the unhealthy tissue would in the long run be better for you than not.
