A study found that women reported a statistically significant decrease in sexual satisfaction following LEEP.<ref>{{cite journal|title=Sexual function after loop electrosurgical excision procedure for cervical dysplasia|first1=Namfon|last1=Inna|first2=Yupin|last2=Phianmongkhol|first3=Kittipat|last3=Charoenkwan|date=1 March 2010|journal=J Sex Med|volume=7|issue=3|pages=1291–1297|doi=10.1111/j.1743-6109.2009.01633.x|pmid=19968775}}</ref>
A systematic review and meta-analysis published in 2014 which sought to examine the differences in preterm labor risk between patients who had a LEEP procedure and those who had CIN findings concluded that there is not a significant difference between those groups in terms of risk, as might previously have been suggested. The study determined that both groups have a higher likelihood for preterm labor than healthy controls, but suggests that a LEEP procedure in a CIN patient might not carry as significant of an increase in risk for preterm labor in future pregnancies as is generally understood. <ref>{{Cite journal |last=Conner |first=Shayna N. |last2=Frey |first2=Heather A. |last3=Cahill |first3=Alison G. |last4=Macones |first4=George A. |last5=Colditz |first5=Graham A. |last6=Tuuli |first6=Methodius G. |date=2014-4 |title=Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure and Risk of Preterm Birth: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis |url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4113318/ |journal=Obstetrics and gynecology |volume=123 |issue=4 |pages=752–761 |doi=10.1097/AOG.0000000000000174 |issn=0029-7844 |pmc=4113318 |pmid=24785601}}</ref> This perspective carries significant implications when it comes to pregnancy timing and decision making in women of child bearing age who have cervical dysplasia and would like to decide whether they should have the lesions removed before or after pregnancy. As pregnancy is generally understood to be an immune suppressed state, the viral mediated character of cervical lesions might also inform revisions to treatment recommendations in such instances.
