What are the types of cervicitis?

Many people may be familiar with cervicitis, but they are not very clear about the types of cervicitis. So what are the types of cervicitis ? The following will introduce the types of cervicitis.

Generally, there are the following types of cervicitis:

1. The first type of cervicitis is cervical erosion

According to the depth of erosion, it can be divided into simple type, granular type and papillary type; according to the size of erosion area, it can be divided into mild, moderate and severe type.

2. Cervical hypertrophy is also a type of cervicitis

Due to long-term stimulation from chronic inflammation, the cervical tissue becomes congested and edematous, and the glands and stroma proliferate, causing the cervix to hypertrophy to varying degrees, with a smooth surface and a hard texture.

3. Types of cervicitis also include cervical polyps

Chronic inflammation and long-term stimulation cause local mucosal hyperplasia of the cervical canal, which protrudes toward the external cervical opening to form polyps. Polyps are single or multiple, red, tongue-shaped, soft and brittle, easy to bleed, with a slender pedicle, and a diameter of about 1 cm. Cervical polyps rarely become malignant, less than 1%, but they are prone to recurrence.

4. Cervical gland cyst is also a type of cervicitis

During the healing process of cervical erosion, the newly formed squamous epithelium covers the opening of the cervical gland duct or extends into the gland duct, blocking the opening of the gland duct; the connective tissue around the gland duct proliferates or scars compress the gland duct, causing the gland duct to narrow or even block, and the drainage of glandular secretions is blocked. The cyst formed by retention is called cervical Nabothian cyst. During the examination, you can see multiple bluish-white cysts of different sizes protruding from the surface of the cervix, containing mucus. The small ones are as big as rice grains, and the large ones are as big as corn kernels. Some can grow very large, protruding from the surface of the cervix, and even reaching the vaginal opening. The root is connected to the cervix by a pedicle, and is often accompanied by cervical hypertrophy.

The above is an introduction to the types of cervicitis. I believe everyone has some understanding of the types of cervicitis. For more questions about the types of cervicitis, you can consult our online experts, who will give detailed answers.
