Patient's question:
Patient is female, recently discovered symptoms of increased leukorrhea and bleeding, and was diagnosed with the condition after hospital examination. Please ask the doctor which population is prone to cervical hypertrophy.Doctor's answer:
Hello, there is no specific age group for this. Generally, women with gynecological inflammation are prone to cervical hypertrophy, which can also cause cervical erosion in women. This is because the surface of the hypertrophic cervix, due to damage or inflammation, can again exhibit squamous epithelial desquamation and columnar epithelial fibrosis, leading to erosion.After the inflammation is treated, the congestion and edema in the cervix locally subside, and the surface of the cervix is once again covered by squamous epithelium, returning completely to a smooth state. However, the fibrotic connective tissue does not disappear; it remains, and the cervix still maintains its hypertrophic appearance. At times, it may even shrink by more than 1-2 times.
