Risks
There is a slight risk of extensive bleeding and infection. Cervical scarring may result from the procedure, occasionally causing painful menstrual periods or making it more difficult to evaluate an abnormal Pap smear. The procedure may cause problems with a later pregnancy, or may make it more difficult for a woman to become pregnant.
