The condition of cervical hypertrophy brings special troubles to many women. That is a common gynecological disease, but we also need to recognize its harmfulness and pay special attention to reasonable prevention in daily life.
Harm of cervical hypertrophy
1. Increased vaginal discharge: The typical symptom of patients with cervical hypertrophy is an increase in vaginal discharge. Acute cervicitis with purulent vaginal discharge is accompanied by pain in the lower abdomen and lumbosacral region, as well as bladder irritation signs such as frequent urination, urgency, and pain. Chronic cervicitis with white discharge presents as milky white mucus or light yellow purulent.
2. Cervical congestion and swelling: Acute inflammation can cause congestion, swelling, or erosion of the cervix. Purulent secretions are discharged from the cervical canal, and there is pain when touching the cervix. Chronic cervicitis can be characterized by varying degrees of erosion, hypertrophy, polyps, glandular cysts, and eversion of the cervix, or purulent secretions at the cervical opening that come into contact with cervical hard tissue. If it is cervical erosion or polyp, there may be contact bleeding.
3. Sexual bleeding: When severe cervical erosion or cervical polyps occur, it can appear as bloody vaginal bleeding after sexual intercourse. Mild cases have no systemic symptoms. When inflammation spreads along the uterosacral ligaments to the pelvis, pain in the lumbosacral region, swelling sensation in the lower abdomen, and dysmenorrhea worsen with each bowel movement and sexual activity.
4. Infertility: Thick purulent vaginal discharge is not conducive to sperm passage and can also cause infertility.
5. Affects normal life. For severe patients, cervical hypertrophy can lead to symptoms such as bloody vaginal discharge and sexual bleeding. These symptoms not only affect women's mental health, but also to some extent endanger their normal life. Therefore, it is recommended that women who suffer from cervical hypertrophy must immediately seek medical treatment.
6. Inducing cervical cancer: Due to some women's habit of delaying the condition after getting sick, if cervical hypertrophy is not treated for a long time, it can worsen the condition, leading to cervical cancer.
Causes of cervical hypertrophy
1. Cervical glandular mucus retention: cervical glandular mucus retention is one of the causes of cervical hypertrophy in women. When the cervical glandular mucus retention in women develops seriously, it will form cysts of different sizes, making women's cervix become hypertrophic, resulting in cervical hypertrophy and infertility.
2. Long term stimulation of chronic inflammation: Long term stimulation of chronic inflammation can also cause cervical hypertrophy in women. Long term stimulation of inflammation includes chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, which causes cervical congestion, edema, proliferation of cervical glands and stroma, and causes cervical hypertrophy and infertility in women.
