Patient's question:
Female, 27 years old. I have been menopausal for the past two years, but recently I have been experiencing intense itching in the external genitalia and vaginal opening, and the odor of my discharge is also quite strong. Please ask: What is the cause of cervical hypertrophy?Doctor's answer:
General cervical hypertrophy is usually caused by inflammatory changes in the cervical mucosa due to pathogen transmission. Simple cervical hypertrophy will never affect pregnancy, but severe cervical inflammation can lead to endometritis, tubo-ovarian inflammation, tubal adhesion, and blockage, resulting in infertility. The pathogens that cause cervical hypertrophy include mycoplasma, chlamydia, bacteria, and viruses. You can go to the gynecology department of the hospital to have a thorough examination of cervical secretions, and based on the examination results, symptomatic treatment should be administered. If necessary, a cervical TCT test can be performed to rule out early cervical cancer.
