Patient's question:
I am 29 years old this year, just got married for a year, and didn't really want children at first. But now that I am getting older, I have started to think about having children. However, when I went to the hospital for a check-up, I found that I have cervical hypertrophy. I would like to ask, what is cervical hypertrophy? Can it cause female infertility? What are the causes of cervical hypertrophy?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Cervical hypertrophy is a common chronic cervicitis caused by inflammatory reactions due to bacterial infection of the cervical mucosa. Generally, cervical hypertrophy does not significantly affect pregnancy. However, since it is a chronic form of cervicitis, if it is severe, it can lead to endometritis and tubal adhesion, which may result in female infertility. There are two reasons why cervical hypertrophy can cause female infertility: 1. Due to prolonged stimulation from inflammation, the cervix may gradually develop congestion and edema, leading to organ hyperplasia and hypertrophy. 2. Mucus may accumulate in the glands, forming cysts of varying sizes, which can also contribute to cervical hypertrophy. If you have further questions, please consult the online experts at Jinan Tianlun Hospital. It is recommended to visit a regular infertility hospital for examination and follow the doctor's advice for scientific treatment. Wishing you early pregnancy and good health!
