What causes cervical hypertrophy?

Cervical hypertrophy may be caused by chronic inflammation, changes in hormone levels or childbirth injuries. Treatment should be based on the cause and include anti-inflammatory, hormone regulation or surgery.

1. Chronic inflammation is a common cause of cervical hypertrophy. Long-term uncured cervicitis, vaginitis and other inflammatory stimuli can lead to cervical tissue hyperplasia, which in turn causes hypertrophy. In terms of treatment, antibiotics such as amoxicillin, cephalosporins or local use of metronidazole suppositories can be used for anti-inflammatory treatment. At the same time, maintaining good personal hygiene habits and avoiding the use of irritating lotions can help prevent recurrence of inflammation.

2. Changes in hormone levels may also lead to cervical hypertrophy. When women are pregnant or using hormone drugs, the estrogen level in their bodies increases, which may stimulate the proliferation of cervical tissue. In this case, you can adjust the use of hormone drugs or consult a doctor for hormone level testing, and use hormone regulating drugs such as progesterone or contraceptives when necessary.

3. Delivery injury is another important cause of cervical hypertrophy. Multiple deliveries or failure to repair cervical tears in time during delivery may lead to abnormal repair of cervical tissue and hypertrophy. In this case, cervical repair surgery such as cervical conization and electrosurgical resection can be used for treatment. After the operation, you need to pay attention to rest and avoid strenuous exercise to promote recovery.

4. Other factors such as cervical polyps, cervical cysts and other pathological changes may also cause cervical hypertrophy. These conditions usually need to be diagnosed through gynecological examinations, and surgical resection or drug treatment should be selected according to the specific condition.

The treatment of cervical hypertrophy requires a personalized plan based on the specific cause, combined with lifestyle adjustments and regular checkups to ensure that the condition is effectively controlled. If symptoms such as abnormal bleeding and increased vaginal discharge occur, seek medical attention in a timely manner to avoid delaying treatment.
