Bleeding after menopause Check for cervical hypertrophy

If bleeding occurs after menopause and cervical hypertrophy is found, it should be taken seriously. This situation may be related to hormonal changes in the body, cervical tissue hyperplasia or other diseases. It is recommended to seek medical attention in time for further examination and treatment.

Vaginal bleeding after menopause is an abnormal condition and may be related to a variety of reasons. Cervical hypertrophy is usually caused by chronic inflammation, glandular hyperplasia or cysts of the cervix. Chronic cervicitis can lead to cervical glandular hyperplasia and tissue fibrosis, resulting in cervical hypertrophy. In this case, bleeding may be the result of cervical surface erosion. If the patient has hormonal disorders after menopause, it may also cause endometrial thickening, further causing abnormal bleeding. In addition, certain pathological problems such as cervical cancer or endometrial lesions may also manifest as irregular vaginal bleeding, especially cervical hypertrophy may mask potential cervical lesions. Therefore, gynecological ultrasound, cervical cytology (TCT) and HPV testing must be performed, and cervical biopsy must be performed if necessary to confirm the diagnosis.

If it is confirmed to be simple cervical hypertrophy and there is no malignant lesion, mild lesions can be treated with medication, such as the use of local anti-inflammatory drugs (such as metronidazole gel or ampicillin ointment) to help control infection and relieve symptoms. If there are cysts or obvious hypertrophy, physical therapy, such as cryotherapy or laser treatment, can be selected to help improve the condition of the cervix. For combined with other abnormalities, such as polyps or intraepithelial lesions, minimally invasive surgery such as cervical conization may be required to remove the lesions and perform further pathological evaluation. Patients should maintain good hygiene of the private parts, avoid infection, and regularly check and monitor the health of the cervix.

Even mild vaginal bleeding after menopause should not be ignored. Early medical attention, identification of the cause and active treatment are the keys to preventing and treating serious diseases. Regular gynecological examinations are recommended, especially for patients with inflammation or cervical health problems, and more attention should be paid to physical management in middle-aged and elderly people. Maintaining a regular schedule and consuming a healthy diet rich in dietary fiber and antioxidants can also help reduce the risk of gynecological diseases.
