Patient's question:
I am 44 years old. Two days ago, during a health check-up, I was found to have cervical hypertrophy. I haven't felt any discomfort myself. I don't know what could cause cervical hypertrophy? How should it be treated? If it's not treated, what complications might it lead to? What are the symptoms of cervical hypertrophy?Doctor's answer:
When suffering from acute inflammation, leukorrhea is often purulent and accompanied by lower abdominal pain, urinary frequency, urinary urgency, and dysuria. When the inflammation becomes chronic, leukorrhea is often creamy and mucous-like or yellowish and purulent. In more severe cases, the hypertrophied cervix surface may also exhibit squamous epithelial desquamation and columnar epithelial fibrosis due to injury or inflammation, leading to mild disorganization. However, after treatment, the cervix surface is once again covered by squamous epithelium, restoring its smooth appearance.
