Is cervical hypertrophy a sign of intrauterine adhesion?

Cervical hypertrophy and intrauterine adhesions are two different gynecological diseases. Cervical hypertrophy is mainly caused by the proliferation of cervical tissue, which leads to an increase in volume, while intrauterine adhesions are adhesions formed after endometrial damage. The causes, symptoms and treatments of the two are different and need to be clearly distinguished.

1. Causes and treatment of cervical hypertrophy

Cervical hypertrophy is usually caused by chronic cervicitis, abnormal hormone levels or multiple births. Chronic inflammation can stimulate cervical tissue over a long period of time, leading to cell proliferation; changes in hormone levels may also cause cervical tissue thickening; multiple births or surgeries may cause changes in cervical structure. Treatments include:

1. Drug treatment: such as antibiotics are used to treat infections, and hormone drugs are used to regulate endocrine.

2 Physical therapy: laser, freezing or electrocautery to remove hyperplastic tissue.

3Surgical treatment: severe cases require cervical conization or total hysterectomy.

2. Causes and treatment of intrauterine adhesions

Intrauterine adhesions are mostly caused by endometrial damage, common causes include artificial abortion, intrauterine surgery or infection. After the endometrium is damaged, adhesions may form during tissue repair, affecting menstruation and fertility. Treatments include:

1Drug treatment: Estrogen promotes endometrial repair, and antibiotics prevent infection.

2Hysteroscopic surgery: separate adhesion tissue and restore the normal shape of the uterine cavity.

3Postoperative care: Place an intrauterine device or balloon to prevent re-adhesion.

3. Differentiation between cervical hypertrophy and intrauterine adhesions

The main symptoms of cervical hypertrophy are increased leucorrhea and lumbosacral pain, while intrauterine adhesions are manifested as decreased menstrual volume, amenorrhea or infertility. The diagnosis should be combined with medical history, physical examination and imaging examination. Cervical hypertrophy can be found by gynecological examination to increase the volume of the cervix, while intrauterine adhesions need to be confirmed by hysteroscopy.

Although cervical hypertrophy and intrauterine adhesions are both common gynecological diseases, their causes, symptoms and treatments are completely different. When related symptoms appear, you should seek medical attention in time, and take targeted treatment after a clear diagnosis to avoid delaying the disease. Paying attention to personal hygiene in daily life and avoiding unnecessary surgical operations can help prevent the occurrence of these two diseases.
