What causes cervical hypertrophy and how to treat cervical hypertrophy

There are many reasons for cervical hypertrophy, including ovarian dysfunction, cervical gland mucus retention, and because women have a lot of estrogen in their bodies, these hormones will cause hypertrophy under long-term stimulation. In addition, if it is stimulated by inflammation, invasion of pathogens or chronic inflammation, it may cause cervical hypertrophy.

Cervical hypertrophy is a common gynecological disease. After suffering from this disease, there will be a variety of adverse symptoms, mainly manifested as increased vaginal discharge, urinary urgency, etc. If not treated in time, it will also cause female infertility. Therefore, for the sake of physical health, it is necessary to treat the disease as soon as possible. Before treatment, you should first understand the cause. So, what causes cervical hypertrophy?

1. What is cervical hypertrophy

Cervical hypertrophy is actually a type of chronic cervicitis, which is mainly caused by chronic inflammation that causes congestion and edema of the cervix, resulting in hyperplasia. After the inflammation is treated, the symptoms of acute cervicitis will subside, but the hyperplastic cervical tissue will not subside and will still exist, so the cervix will maintain its hypertrophic appearance. It is recommended that during the acute inflammatory period, active treatment is needed to improve the vaginal microenvironment. If necessary, antibiotics should be used for treatment to prevent the aggravation of cervical hypertrophy.

2. Causes of cervical hypertrophy

1. Ovarian dysfunction

There is a large amount of female hormone in the female body. Under long-term stimulation of these hormones, the cervical basal layer will become enlarged. The most obvious symptom is functional uterine bleeding, which is actually a type of ovarian dysfunction.

2. Cervical gland mucus retention

If a woman has severe mucus discharge from her cervical glands, cysts of varying sizes will appear in the vagina, leading to cervical hypertrophy. As the disease progresses, infertility may occur.

3. Inflammation

Some patients suffer from cervical hypertrophy mainly due to inflammation, the most common of which are chronic uterine myositis, chronic adnexitis, pelvic connective tissue inflammation, etc. These inflammations can cause cervical congestion and edema, and can also cause glandular and stroma hyperplasia, leading to cervical hypertrophy.

4. Pathogen invasion

There are many types of pathogens that cause cervical hypertrophy, including chlamydia and mycoplasma. If a woman's vagina is infected with these viruses, the balance of the cervix will be broken, resulting in cervical hypertrophy.

5. Chronic inflammation and long-term stimulation

Some women already have chronic diseases, and if they do not persist in treating vaginal inflammation, they will be stimulated for a long time, leading to chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. At this time, the cervix will also become congested and edematous, eventually leading to cervical hypertrophy.
