Symptoms and treatment of cervical hypertrophy

Cervical hypertrophy is usually caused by chronic inflammation, changes in hormone levels or multiple births, and manifests as an increase in cervical volume, which may be accompanied by symptoms such as increased vaginal discharge and lumbosacral pain. Treatment should be based on the cause, including medication, physical therapy or surgical intervention.

1. Chronic inflammation is a common cause of cervical hypertrophy. Long-term inflammatory stimulation leads to hyperplasia of cervical tissue, which in turn causes hypertrophy. Treating inflammation is the key. Commonly used drugs include antibiotics such as metronidazole, cephalosporins, and anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen. Local medications such as vaginal suppositories can also relieve symptoms.

2. Changes in hormone levels may also lead to cervical hypertrophy. Excessive estrogen levels can stimulate cervical tissue hyperplasia. Regulating hormone levels is the focus of treatment. Doctors may prescribe hormone-regulating drugs such as progesterone or oral contraceptives. In terms of diet, reduce the intake of high-estrogen foods, such as soy products, royal jelly, etc.

3. Multiple childbirths or cervical injuries are also one of the causes of cervical hypertrophy. Mechanical damage to the cervix during childbirth may lead to tissue hyperplasia. For mild hypertrophy, physical therapy such as laser, freezing or electrocautery can effectively reduce the size of the cervix. In severe cases, surgery may be required to remove part of the cervical tissue.

4. Symptoms of cervical hypertrophy include increased leucorrhea, lumbosacral pain, and sexual discomfort. Increased leucorrhea may be a manifestation of inflammation. You need to pay attention to personal hygiene and avoid using irritating lotions. Lumbosacral pain may be related to the compression of surrounding tissues by cervical hypertrophy. Hot compresses or massage can relieve the discomfort. If you feel uncomfortable during sexual intercourse, it is recommended to use lubricants and avoid excessively frequent sexual intercourse.

5. To prevent cervical hypertrophy, regular gynecological examinations are essential. Cervical smear or HPV testing can detect abnormalities early and intervene in time. Maintaining good living habits, such as a balanced diet, moderate exercise, and avoiding excessive fatigue, can also help prevent cervical hypertrophy.

The treatment of cervical hypertrophy should be based on the specific cause and symptoms. Early detection and intervention are the key to preventing complications. Regular gynecological examinations, rational medication, and a healthy lifestyle are important measures to maintain cervical health.
