Patient's question:
Recently, my menstrual flow has suddenly increased significantly, accompanied by lower abdominal pain, frequent urination, urgency, and dysuria. My leukorrhea volume is also abnormally high. Due to the worsening condition, I underwent a thorough examination and was diagnosed with cervical hypertrophy.What are the causes of cervical hypertrophy?
Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, for the diagnosis of cervical hypertrophy, further treatment should be considered. It is recommended to revisit the hospital for a follow-up. Medication treatment can be considered, and surgery may be necessary if needed. Long-term chronic inflammation can also lead to cervical hypertrophy in women. This long-term inflammatory impact includes chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, which can cause congestion, edema, and fibrosis of the cervical glands and stroma, ultimately leading to cervical hypertrophy and infertility in women. Due to long-term estrogen exposure, the cervical epithelium becomes hypertrophic, and the most common clinical diagnosis is functional uterine bleeding.
