Skadi Whether cervical hypertrophy requires treatment depends on whether there are accompanying symptoms. Simple cervical hypertrophy usually does not require treatment. If it is combined with cervicitis, abnormal bleeding or increased secretions, medical intervention is required.
Cervical hypertrophy is a manifestation of cervical gland and stromal hyperplasia caused by chronic inflammation and long-term stimulation. Most of them are physiological changes. Gynecological examination may reveal that the cervix is enlarged but has a smooth surface with no contact bleeding. Patients often have no conscious symptoms. This situation can be observed regularly. In some women, the cervix moves downward due to changes in hormone levels or ligament laxity after multiple childbirths. The appearance of the cervix appears to be hypertrophied but the actual function is normal and does not require special treatment.
When cervical hypertrophy is accompanied by purulent leucorrhea, postcoital bleeding, or lumbosacral pain, it may indicate combined cervicitis or pelvic inflammatory disease. When the secretion examination reveals infection by mycoplasma, chlamydia and other pathogens, antibacterial drugs such as azithromycin tablets and doxycycline hydrochloride tablets need to be used. Patients with cervical erosion-like changes can choose topical medications such as Baofukang suppository and Sophora flavescens gel. For those who are ineffective in drug treatment or have abnormal cervical cytology, physical treatments such as cryotherapy and cervical ring electrosurgery should be considered.
It is recommended to have an annual gynecological examination and cervical cancer screening, including TCT and human papillomavirus testing. Keep your vulva clean and dry every day, avoid using irritating lotions, and pay attention to protection during sex. When symptoms such as changes in secretion properties and abnormal vaginal bleeding occur, you should seek medical attention promptly to rule out the risk of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and other lesions.
