Cervical hypertrophy found in postmenopausal examination

Cervical hypertrophy after menopause may be related to hormone changes, chronic inflammation, uterine lesions and other reasons. It is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible to determine the specific cause. Generally, it can be diagnosed through gynecological examination, B-ultrasound examination or pathological histological examination when necessary, and targeted treatment methods can be selected in time.

1). Changes in hormone levels

The drop in estrogen levels caused by menopause can lead to degenerative changes in the structure of the uterus and cervix, and some women may experience cervical hypertrophy. The drop in estrogen may also affect the local metabolism of the cervix, causing tissue proliferation and hypertrophy. For such problems caused by hormone imbalance, doctors usually recommend hormone replacement therapy (such as local estrogen medication), but you need to strictly follow the doctor's instructions and check your hormone levels regularly.

2). Chronic cervicitis

Chronic cervical inflammation that has not been completely cured for a long time can lead to local tissue edema, hyperplasia, and even cervical hypertrophy. This situation can be improved through early drug treatment (such as antibiotics, antiviral drugs, etc.) and physical therapy (such as laser, freezing or microwave treatment) to improve the inflammation and promote the recovery of cervical tissue. If the hypertrophy is severe, surgical treatment may also be considered, such as cervical conization.

3). Uterine-related lesions

Cervical hypertrophy may also be related to pathological diseases such as uterine fibroids and adenomyosis. If these lesions fail to shrink on their own after menopause and instead show signs of cervical and tissue hypertrophy, further examinations (such as hysteroscopy, histopathological biopsy) may be needed to confirm the diagnosis. If pathological problems are confirmed, uterine fibroids may need to be treated (such as minimally invasive surgery or removal surgery), and even a total hysterectomy may be required if necessary.

4). Other factors such as trauma or polyp formation

Multiple births or a history of cervical manipulation may lead to abnormal proliferation of cervical soft tissue during repair, and weakened recovery after menopause may aggravate cervical hypertrophy. Benign proliferative lesions such as cervical polyps or cysts are also common factors. If such problems are suspected, you need to cooperate with your doctor for removal surgery or pathological analysis.

If you find cervical hypertrophy after menopause, you should pay enough attention to it. It is recommended to seek medical treatment in time to identify the cause and choose a scientific treatment plan according to the specific situation, which will help improve symptoms and prevent serious complications. Maintaining good hygiene habits and regular gynecological examinations can reduce the risk of cervical hypertrophy and ensure health.
