Patient's question:
Is it necessary to have a colposcopy examination for cervical hypertrophy?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Cervical hypertrophy is a type of chronic cervicitis. It is caused by inflammatory changes in the cervical mucosa due to pathogen infection. The pathogens that can cause cervical hypertrophy include mycoplasma, chlamydia, bacteria, and viruses. It is recommended that you go to the gynecology department of the hospital for a cervical secretion examination. Based on the examination results, symptomatic treatment should be administered. If necessary, a cervical TCT examination should be performed to rule out early cervical cancer. Simple cervical hypertrophy does not affect pregnancy, but severe cervicitis can lead to endometritis, tubo-ovarian inflammation, tubal adhesion, and obstruction.
