How long does it take to treat mild cervical hypertrophy?

The treatment time for mild cervical hypertrophy usually takes 1 to 3 months, depending on the treatment method, the patient's recovery and individual physical differences. For mild cervical hypertrophy, medication, physical therapy and lifestyle adjustments can be used.

1) Drug treatment

For mild cervical hypertrophy, drug treatment is a common choice, including anti-infective drugs and endocrine regulating drugs. Depending on the cause, if it is caused by inflammation, such as chronic cervicitis, you can use local medications such as antibiotic suppositories (such as metronidazole suppositories, erythromycin suppositories, etc.) as prescribed by the doctor. The course of treatment is about 1 to 2 weeks, used every night; if accompanied by acute attacks, oral antibiotics can be used in combination. If cervical hypertrophy is caused by endocrine disorders, drugs that regulate female hormones such as Chinese patent medicines can be used for conditioning, but the actual specific drug selection needs to be combined with the doctor's guidance.

2) Physical therapy

If the drug treatment of mild cervical hypertrophy is not satisfactory, or the patient's symptoms are more obvious, physical therapy can be considered. Common methods include cryotherapy, laser therapy and electric ironing. Usually the number of treatments is 1-2 times, and postoperative recovery care is required. The overall course of treatment may take 1-3 months. During the postoperative recovery period, avoiding sexual intercourse and paying attention to personal hygiene to prevent infection are also important factors affecting the recovery speed.

3) Lifestyle Adjustment

Adjusting your lifestyle is crucial to consolidating the treatment effect. For example, you should pay attention to maintaining personal hygiene, especially during menstruation and sexual intercourse, choose cotton and breathable underwear, and change underwear frequently. At the same time, adjust your diet structure, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and eat more light foods rich in vitamins and minerals, such as vegetables and fruits. Appropriate exercise can enhance immunity and also help repair the cervical mucosa.

Patients with mild cervical hypertrophy need to have regular checkups during treatment, follow the doctor's instructions and strictly implement the treatment plan, and improve their condition through a healthy lifestyle. If symptoms are not relieved or even worsen, they should be followed up in time and the treatment should be adjusted to ensure cervical health.
