Does age matter? study links timing of cervical surgery to pregnancy risks

This study looked at whether the age at which a woman had cervical conization (surgery to remove precancerous cells) affects the length of her cervix during a later pregnancy. A shorter cervix can increase the risk of early delivery. Researchers measured cervix length in pregnant women who had this surgery and compared them to women who did not. The goal was to find the age cutoff where the surgery no longer impacts cervix size, helping doctors identify who needs extra monitoring.
