What causes cervical hypertrophy?

There are many reasons for cervical hypertrophy, including long-term stimulation of chronic inflammation, cervical gland mucus retention, uterine cavity congestion, ovarian dysfunction, inflammation, etc. It is recommended to seek medical attention in time and take targeted measures under the guidance of a doctor according to different reasons. The specific introduction is as follows:

1. Long-term stimulation of chronic inflammation: Cervical hypertrophy is a manifestation of chronic cervicitis. Long-term stimulation of chronic inflammation, such as chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, can cause cervical congestion and edema, and cause proliferation of cervical glands and stroma, eventually leading to cervical hypertrophy. This long-term stimulation includes the invasion of various pathogens, such as mycoplasma, chlamydia, bacteria, etc.

2. Mucus retention in the cervical glands: When mucus is retained deep in the cervical glands, cysts of varying sizes will form, causing the cervix to become enlarged. If this situation develops further, severe cysts may form, significantly increasing the size of the cervix.

3. Uterine congestion: Uterine congestion can cause the proliferation of uterine connective tissue, leading to cervical hypertrophy. This is usually related to poor blood circulation or gynecological diseases such as endometriosis.

4. Ovarian dysfunction: Continuous stimulation of estrogen, especially long-term functional uterine bleeding, can cause the uterine muscle layer to become thicker, leading to cervical hypertrophy. This situation is more common in patients with ovarian dysfunction or endocrine disorders.

5. Inflammation: Chronic adnexitis, pelvic connective tissue inflammation and other inflammations can cause fibrosis in the myometrium, eventually leading to cervical hypertrophy. These inflammations are usually related to infection, immune system abnormalities or surgery.

Understanding these causes can help us better prevent and treat cervical hypertrophy. If you experience symptoms of cervical hypertrophy, such as increased vaginal discharge and menstrual changes, you should seek medical attention and receive professional examinations and treatment.
