Patient's question:
Six months have passed since giving birth, and I have some inflammation. The hospital said it's bacterial inflammation and cervical hypertrophy. Is it that I haven't fully recovered, or is it related to having too much sex? During the inflammation, if I have sex many times, what kind of assistance is needed: What is cervical hypertrophy? How is it treated?Doctor's answer:
Chronic bacterial inflammation strikes the cervix, leading to fibrosis of connective tissue, which constitutes cervical hypertrophy. Once the inflammation is fully healed, the fibrotic connective tissue cannot be completely eliminated, so cervical hypertrophy will never return to its original state. Bacterial inflammation is not a contagious disease, but it is related to frequent sexual activity. The vagina is very close to the anus, and the bacteria that reside in the vagina can frequently affect the vagina and cervix under the impact of sexual activity, leading to inflammation. Childbirth can also cause infection. Sexual activity during the inflammation period will exacerbate the inflammation and interfere with the complete recovery of treatment.
