Patient's question:
Symptoms: Excessive menstrual flow with prolonged duration, occasionally accompanied by abdominal pain. Examination revealed uterine enlargement. What are the causes of uterine enlargement?Doctor's answer:
The causes of uterine enlargement include:(1) Chronic inflammatory stimulation over a long period, leading to congestion and edema of the cervix, and subsequent fibrosis of cervical glands and stroma, resulting in varying degrees of cervical enlargement.
(2) Mucus retention may occur in the deep part of the cervical glands, forming cysts of varying sizes, which can cause the cervix to become enlarged.
Cervical enlargement generally does not require treatment, but if there is erosion, cervical erosion can be treated. It is best to visit a formal hospital for a thorough examination to confirm the cause and then receive symptomatic treatment.
There are several treatment methods for uterine enlargement, but since the condition varies among patients, the chosen treatment method will differ. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek diagnosis and treatment as soon as symptoms are noticed.
