Patient's question:
Recently, there was a half-price gynecological check-up near my home, so I went for a thorough examination. The doctor said that I have a bit of endocrine disorder besides cervical hypertrophy, but didn't mention the cause. What kind of assistance is needed: What are the main factors of cervical hypertrophy and what is related to it?Doctor's answer:
Cervical hyperplasia is caused by long-term impact of chronic inflammation, congestion and edema in the cervix, as well as fibrosis of glands and stroma. Additionally, mucus retention in the deep part of the glands may form cysts, leading to varying degrees of cervical hyperplasia, increased hardness, but generally smooth surface. Sometimes, cervical gland cysts may be observed as protrusions. If there are no symptoms, it is recommended to visit a regular hospital for a thorough examination to determine if there are any other inflammatory conditions. Cervical hyperplasia is caused by inflammation.
