Patient's question:
I am a patient with cervical hypertrophy. When I went to the hospital, a gynecological examination revealed cervical hypertrophy, but I didn't have any discomforting symptoms, so I didn't receive treatment. What should cervical hypertrophy patients pay attention to in daily life?Doctor's answer:
Cervical hypertrophy often recurs in women around the age of 40 and is commonly associated with a history of multiple pregnancies. Therefore, for multiparous women experiencing excessive vaginal bleeding, the condition should be the first consideration for diagnosis. However, for older women (over 45) or those with recurrent intermittent bleeding that does not improve with treatment, a diagnostic (D&C) should be performed along with a pathological examination to rule out endometrial malignancy.Preventive measures for cervical hypertrophy in daily life mainly include:
1. Changing underwear frequently, and underwear should be loose-fitting, avoiding synthetic materials like nylon;
2. Using boiling water to sterilize underwear, used bathtubs, towels, etc.;
3. Vaginal cleaning once a week is recommended to prevent dysbiosis and bacterial infections;
4. Abstaining from sexual activity.
