What is cervical hypertrophy? Does it need treatment?

Cervical hypertrophy is the proliferation of cervical tissue due to various factors such as chronic inflammatory stimulation, incomplete uterine involution, ovarian dysfunction, gynecological inflammation, etc. Cervical hypertrophy usually does not cause obvious symptoms, but sometimes there will be symptoms such as increased cervical secretions, lower abdominal distension, and bleeding after sexual intercourse. Cervical hypertrophy rarely requires treatment, but if there are symptoms or suspected malignant changes, you should seek medical treatment in time.

1. Chronic inflammatory stimulation: Chronic inflammatory stimulation is one of the main causes of cervical hypertrophy. Long-term inflammatory stimulation can lead to hyperplasia of cervical tissue, thus causing cervical hypertrophy.

2. Incomplete uterine involution: The elastic fiber tissue in the myometrium of multiparous women proliferates between the smooth muscles and around the blood vessels, which may lead to uterine hypertrophy and thus cervical hypertrophy.

3. Ovarian dysfunction: Due to ovarian dysfunction, long-term estrogen stimulation can cause thickening of the uterine muscle layer. Patients with functional uterine bleeding who have a long course of disease are often accompanied by varying degrees of uterine enlargement.

4. Gynecological inflammation: such as chronic adnexitis, pelvic connective tissue inflammation and chronic uterine myositis, which cause collagen fiber proliferation in the myometrium and cause uterine fibrosis.

5. Other factors: Pelvic congestion, uterine myometrial vascular sclerosis, etc. may also lead to cervical hypertrophy.

Cervical hypertrophy is usually caused by cervical tissue hyperplasia due to various factors such as chronic inflammatory stimulation, incomplete uterine involution, ovarian dysfunction, gynecological inflammation, etc. In most cases, cervical hypertrophy does not cause obvious symptoms, so no treatment is required. However, if symptoms such as increased cervical secretions, lower abdominal distension, bleeding after sexual intercourse, or suspected malignant changes occur, medical treatment should be sought in time. During the treatment process, the doctor will choose the appropriate treatment method according to the patient's specific situation. At the same time, women should also pay attention to preventive measures such as keeping the vulva clean and dry, avoiding unclean sexual behavior and excessive cleaning of the inside of the vagina to reduce the risk of infection and inflammation.
