In daily life, many people have not a good understanding of the condition of cervical hypertrophy.
What is cervical hypertrophy? How is it treated? Let's take a look together at this topic.
What is cervical hypertrophy? It is a chronic inflammation of the cervix caused by pathogen infection on the condition of cervical membrane.
Infections causing cervical hypertrophy include Mycoplasma, Chlamydia, bacterial infections, viral infections. If cervical hypertrophy is caused by these conditions alone, it generally has little impact on fertility. However, if the cervical hypertrophy becomes severe and leads to serious cervical inflammation, it can cause endometrial inflammation, as well as inflammation of the fallopian tubes and ovaries, as well as phenomena such as adhesions and obstructions, which can lead to infertility symptoms.
1. In the initial stages, uterine enlargement is usually not very noticeable and only manifests as an increased menstrual flow. Therefore, during examinations at this time, attention should be paid to whether there are functional disorders of uterine bleeding, symptoms of submucosal myomas in the uterus, or adenomyosis.
2. Uterine hypertrophy is generally associated with older women, particularly those over the age of 40, and those who have had multiple pregnancies, making them more susceptible to this condition.
However, if the age is greater than 45 and there is a recurring bleeding symptom in the vagina that does not resolve despite treatment, then curettage should be performed. Additionally, it is recommended to use moxibustion for the cervix and apply herbal fumigation for the treatment of the cervix.
Additional pathological examinations are required to rule out the possibility of endometrial malignancy.
3. The uterine hypertrophy is uniform, and there are no irregular nodules on its surface.
If an examination is conducted using a probe, if there is no deformity or no mass present in the uterine cavity.
Self-diagnosis of cervical hypertrophy: It is possible to self-assess the presence of cervical hypertrophy. Sometimes, based on certain signs or symptoms, one may be able to detect the presence of cervical hypertrophy.
Self-diagnosis of cervical hypertrophy includes: 1. Patients with cervical polyps may experience a discharge of bloody vaginal mucus during the day, and bleeding after intercourse.
The sensation of a uterine infection may not be evident, but when the inflammation spreads along the ligaments connecting the uterus to the sacrum and into the pelvic area, symptoms such as a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen and dysmenorrhea may occur.
2. In patients with acute cervicitis, their vaginal discharge increases and may vary in severity according to the patient's condition, as well as presenting with purulent discharge.
Patients with severe conditions may experience symptoms such as frequent urination, pain, and urgency.
3. When there is a viscous purulent discharge, it can make sperm difficult to pass through, which may lead to infertility in daily life.
The condition is becoming more prevalent in daily life, and its period of occurrence is shortening to about 20 days.
Differentiation of Cervical Enlargement: Due to the unique nature of cervical enlargement, it is often confused with other conditions. The symptoms of these conditions are very similar, leading to misdiagnosis. Therefore, what diseases are similar to cervical enlargement? 1. In cases of pregnancy-induced bleeding, symptoms can be similar to those of cervical enlargement. Cervical enlargement involves heavy vaginal bleeding without amenorrhea or early pregnancy symptoms.
However, for uterine bleeding related to pregnancy, there is a condition of amenorrhea. If pregnancy tests or ultrasound examinations are conducted, it will be detected.
2. Functional dysmenorrhea, characterized by irregular menstrual bleeding in patients with no regular pattern. This condition is more common in adolescents or in the perimenopausal period. Additionally, there is no significant enlargement of the uterus, or only minimal indications of growth.
Uterine hypertrophy is a condition that commonly affects women of childbearing age.
The uterine cavity is obviously enlarged, and it can be as big as a duck egg.
3. Myomas in the small pelvis are also frequently confused with cervical hypertrophy, as both conditions involve enlargement of the uterus and excessive menstrual flow. Upon examination using double contrast imaging, one may observe firmness or unevenness of the uterine tissue.
Diagnosis of Cervical Proliferative Hypertrophy Although it is not a difficult condition, cervical hypertrophy can be quite irritating. Without timely treatment, it may progress and potentially develop into cancer.
1. Some traditional methods involve performing uterine scrapings, but cervical scrapings are subject to some limitations.
The rate of false positives is relatively high.
If colposcopy is to be conducted, it is necessary to undergo three or more examinations, and only after all results are negative can the etiology be definitively determined.
However, for some experienced doctors, they tend to prefer the use of colposcopy for examinations, as a single examination can essentially determine the condition.
2. Colposcopy is performed because it has a powerful, magnifying light source.
The colposcope can magnify lesions from 10 to 40 times, allowing visualization of abnormalities on the surface of the uterine wall that are not visible to the naked eye.
By using a 3% to 5% acetic acid solution, it is possible to determine whether changes in cervical cells are benign or malignant.
If a biopsy can be performed under the guidance of colposcopy, it can accurately detect the condition.
Some screening tests for cancer can be conducted using TCT (ThinPrep Cytologic Test), which examines a large number of surface-shed cells to determine the presence of abnormal or malignant cells.
This is also a critical screening test for married women.
This examination is more advanced than a cervical smear test.
His positive test rate is likely to be higher.
It can better detect precancerous lesions and more easily achieve the goal.
HPV infection is a significant factor in the development of cervical cancer.
Colposcopy can visualize the surface of lesions, but by this stage, the disease has typically progressed to a late phase.
Using HPV DNA testing can detect cancer at an early stage, allowing for timely treatment.
Cervical hypertrophy is a chronic cervicitis or an inflammation triggered by pathogenic bacteria on the cervical mucosa.
Due to the various factors that can cause cervical hypertrophy, it is essential to undergo examination at a hospital and then receive treatment based on the appropriate diagnosis.
However, if not treated in a timely manner or if it is not treated, certain harms may result.
1. Patients with cervical hypertrophy may experience an increase in vaginal discharge. Acute cervicitis patients may present with purulent vaginal discharge, accompanied by lower abdominal pain, backache, and even symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and pain during urination.
2. In some patients with acute cervicitis, there may be edema or erosion in the cervical area.
The cervical canal also discharges some purulent secretions.
Chronic cervicitis patients may exhibit various abnormalities, such as erosion, hypertrophy, polyps, cystadenocarcinomas, or exostosis.
Additionally, there may be some purulent secretions at the opening of the cervix.
3. Some patients with severe cervical erosion may experience bleeding after sexual intercourse.
Patients with cervical hypertrophy have viscous and purulent discharge, which prevents sperm from passing through, leading to infertility symptoms.
Women with cervical hypertrophy, who tend to delay the diagnosis and treatment of their condition, may suffer from delayed progression and may ultimately develop cervical cancer.
