Patient's question:
Menstruation has been ongoing for over ten days without stopping, and it hasn't ended yet. I've been experiencing a persistent dull ache and fullness in my lower abdomen. It feels like I can't express it properly even if I try to, and sometimes I also have a dull ache in my rectum. When I got a thorough check-up, the doctor said it was due to cervical hypertrophy.What exactly is cervical hypertrophy?
Doctor's answer:
Cervical hyperplasia is a type of chronic cervical inflammation. It is caused by inflammatory changes in the cervical mucosa due to pathogen transmission. The pathogens that can lead to cervical hyperplasia include mycoplasma, chlamydia, bacteria, and viruses. It is recommended to go to the gynecology department of a hospital for a thorough examination of cervical secretions. Based on the examination results, symptomatic treatment should be provided. If necessary, a cervical TCT test can be performed to rule out early cervical cancer.
