Cervical hypertrophy infertility examination

Cervical hypertrophy may lead to infertility, which is mainly related to cervical inflammation, endocrine disorders or abnormal cervical structure. The diagnosis can be confirmed through gynecological examination, cervical smear, B-ultrasound and other means. Treatment includes drug therapy, physical therapy and surgical treatment.

1. Common causes of cervical hypertrophy

Cervical hypertrophy may be related to chronic cervicitis, endocrine disorders, or abnormal cervical structure. Chronic cervicitis is usually caused by bacterial or viral infection, and long-term untreated will lead to cervical tissue hyperplasia. Endocrine disorders, such as abnormal estrogen levels, may also cause cervical hypertrophy. Congenital cervical dysplasia or scarring after cervical surgery may also cause cervical hypertrophy.

2. The relationship between cervical hypertrophy and infertility

Cervical hypertrophy may affect the passage of sperm through the cervix into the uterus, thereby reducing the chance of conception. An enlarged cervix may cause abnormal cervical mucus secretion, affecting sperm survival and movement. Cervical inflammation may also trigger an immune response and produce anti-sperm antibodies, further hindering conception.

3. Methods for checking cervical hypertrophy

A variety of examination methods are required to confirm cervical hypertrophy. Gynecological examination can initially determine the size and shape of the cervix. Cervical smear test helps to rule out cervical precancerous lesions or infection. B-ultrasound examination can more clearly observe the structure and thickness of the cervix. If necessary, the doctor may also recommend a cervical biopsy or hysteroscopy to clarify the cause.

4. Treatment of cervical hypertrophy

Depending on the cause and condition, the treatment of cervical hypertrophy includes medication, physical therapy, and surgery. Medication is mainly aimed at inflammation or infection, such as antibiotics or antiviral drugs. Physical therapy includes methods such as laser, freezing, or electrocautery, which are suitable for patients with mild hypertrophy. For severe cases, cervical conization or cervical cerclage may be required. During treatment, patients should maintain good living habits and avoid excessive fatigue and emotional fluctuations.

Although cervical hypertrophy may affect fertility, most patients can recover and improve their chances of pregnancy through timely examination and standardized treatment. It is recommended that women with related symptoms seek medical attention as soon as possible to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment.
