Patient's question:
Female, unmarried, no sexual activity, recently experiencing discomfort in the private area. After checking at the hospital, it was found that there is a gynecological disease. Please ask the doctor, how is cervical hypertrophy caused?Doctor's answer:
Dear Inquirer,Cervical hypertrophy is caused by long-term stimulation from chronic inflammation, leading to repeated congestion, edema, inflammatory cell infiltration, and connective tissue hyperplasia in the cervical tissue, resulting in the enlargement of the cervix. Due to the numerous and fragile capillaries on the surface of the cervix, combined with the hypertrophied cervical tissue being further stimulated by chronic inflammation, gynecological examinations such as cervical scraping are easily likely to cause bleeding from surface vessel rupture.
