Patient's question:
I've been divorced for about one or two years and haven't been able to get pregnant. I originally thought it wasn't a big deal because I'm young, but later during a gynecological examination, I was surprised to find out that I have cervical hypertrophy. I don't really understand how this disease came about, and the doctor said that surgery is needed to treat it.What kind of assistance I need: What should I do after learning that I have cervical hypertrophy?
Doctor's answer:
The causes of cervical hypertrophy include: (1) Long-term impact of chronic inflammation, 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. It is recommended to eat more green vegetables, such as carrots and green leafy vegetables, and consume more water-rich fruits like oranges, watermelons, and peaches.
