Patient's question:
I've been divorced for about one or two years and haven't been able to get pregnant. I initially thought it wasn't a big deal because I'm young, but later during a gynecological examination, I was surprised to discover that I have cervical hypertrophy. I don't understand how I got this condition, and the doctor said it requires surgery to treat. I'm not sure whether to go through with it.What kind of assistance I need: What are the symptoms of cervical hypertrophy?
Doctor's answer:
Cervical hypertrophy is caused by long-term impact of chronic inflammation, congestion and edema of the cervical, fibrosis of glands and stroma, and may also involve mucus retention in the deep glands forming cysts. This results in varying degrees of cervical hypertrophy, increased hardness, but the surface is often smooth. Sometimes, cervical gland cysts may be observed. If there are no symptoms, it may not be addressed. If the degree of hypertrophy is too severe, it may lead to cervical stenosis, which could potentially cause infertility. However, I recommend considering a vaginal cone biopsy in such cases.
