What causes cervical hypertrophy?

Cervical hypertrophy is a manifestation of chronic inflammation in the cervix, usually caused by various factors such as long-term chronic inflammation, infection by pathogens, and uterine congestion. Treatments include medication, physical therapy, and surgery.

Cervical hypertrophy is caused by a variety of reasons, including the following:

1. Long-term stimulation of chronic inflammation: Long-term stimulation of chronic inflammation can lead to proliferation of cervical tissue cells, thus causing cervical hypertrophy. Common chronic inflammations include chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, chronic adnexitis, pelvic connective tissue inflammation, etc.

2. Invasion of pathogens: Some pathogens such as mycoplasma, chlamydia, bacteria, etc. infect the cervix, causing cervical inflammation and leading to cervical hypertrophy.

3. Intrauterine congestion: Intrauterine congestion can cause hyperplasia of uterine connective tissue, thereby causing cervical hypertrophy.

4. Ovarian dysfunction: Due to the long-term stimulation of estrogen, the basal layer of the cervix becomes enlarged. The most common clinical condition is functional uterine bleeding.

5. Caused by inflammation: Chronic adnexitis and pelvic connective tissue inflammation can cause fibroplasia in the myometrium of the uterus, eventually leading to cervical hypertrophy.

6. Other factors: The elastic fiber tissue in the uterine myometrium of multiparous women proliferates between the smooth muscles and around the blood vessels, which may lead to cervical hypertrophy. Multiple artificial abortions, multiparous women, and cervical lacerations may also cause damage to the cervix. Long-term inflammatory stimulation leads to cervical hypertrophy.

If women have symptoms of cervical hypertrophy, such as increased vaginal discharge, thick and purulent vaginal discharge that is not conducive to sperm penetration, etc., they should seek medical attention and treatment in time. Treatment methods include medication, physical therapy, and surgery. At the same time, women should maintain a healthy lifestyle, pay attention to personal hygiene and sexual hygiene, and prevent the occurrence of cervical hypertrophy.
