Patient's question:
How is cervical hypertrophy treated? The doctor recommended removing it. Will it lead to changes?Doctor's answer:
Electrocautery Treatment: Apply the electrocautery head to the eroded surface to cause tissue coagulation, forming a scab. The scab typically begins to fall off after about two weeks, and wound healing generally takes 6 to 8 weeks. The procedure should be performed 3 to 5 days after the menstrual period. It is contraindicated for those with adnexitis. After treatment, leukorrhea may temporarily increase or bleeding may occur. If bleeding is significant, use sterile gauze to compress the wound and remove it after 24 hours. A disadvantage is that sometimes scar contraction may lead to cervical stenosis.
