Patient's question:
I was diagnosed with cervical canal hyperplasia. The doctor said that a complete cure requires removal. I don't have any children yet. What should I do? Are there other treatment methods?Doctor's answer:
The above conditions should fall under the category of cervical polyps. Cervical polyps can be seen in cervical inflammatory hyperplasia or as a manifestation of cervical cancer. Therefore, it is generally best to surgically remove polyps when they appear.Cervical canal hyperplasia is also a manifestation of chronic cervical inflammation, also known as endocervicitis. The lesions are usually limited to the mucous membrane of the cervical canal and the underlying tissues, often accompanied by connective tissue hyperplasia and cervical hypertrophy. At times, the mucous membrane of the cervical canal may proliferate and protrude outward. During a gynecological examination, the cervical os may appear red and congested, and the vaginal part of the cervix is usually smooth.
When treating, it is important to address the symptoms accordingly. If poor hygiene habits are the cause, they should be corrected promptly. If cervical canal hyperplasia is due to an intrauterine device (IUD), removal of the IUD may be necessary. Additionally, a curettage procedure can be performed to remove inflamed tissue from the cervical canal.
Local medication can also be used. After fully exposing the cervix, a cotton swab soaked in sulfonamide powder or other medications is inserted into the cervical canal and rotated to ensure the medication coats the surface of the cervical mucosa. This is typically done once daily for 3–4 sessions.
