Patient's question:
I have some itching in my private area, with blood streaks in my discharge and a bad odor. As an unmarried person, I feel embarrassed going to the hospital for a check-up. Could you please tell me what are the specific causes of cervical hypertrophy?Doctor's answer:
The causes of cervical hypertrophy include:(1) Chronic inflammation and long-term stimulation, leading to congestion and edema of the cervix, and subsequent fibrosis of cervical glands and stroma, resulting in varying degrees of cervical hypertrophy.
(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 hypertrophic.
Cervical hypertrophy generally does not require treatment. If there is erosion, cervical erosion can be treated.
