What disease may cause cervical hardening?

The female cervix is ​​a very important part for women. This part is usually touched by the male sexual organ when men and women have sex. If a man has some andrological diseases, it is likely that he did not take contraceptive measures during sex, which may lead to cervical erosion or cervical inflammation. So what disease may cause the hardening of the cervix?

The causes of cervical hypertrophy are: due to the long-term stimulation of chronic inflammation, the cervical tissue becomes congested and edematous, the cervical glands and stroma proliferate, and the glandular ducts are squeezed by the surrounding proliferative tissue, making it difficult for the mucus produced by the glands to be discharged, forming retention cysts. The more superficial glandular cysts protrude to the surface of the cervix and are easy to observe, while the deep glandular cysts often cause the cervix to become thicker and larger to varying degrees, which is generally referred to as cervical hypertrophy. Deep glandular cysts are difficult to detect with the naked eye, but B-ultrasound examination can reveal round, liquid dark areas of varying sizes between the cervical muscle walls.

The surface of the enlarged cervix may also experience erosion due to injury or inflammatory stimulation, such as shedding of squamous epithelium and hyperplasia of columnar epithelium. After the inflammation is treated, the local congestion and edema of the cervix subsides, and the surface of the cervix is ​​covered with squamous epithelium again and returns to its smooth state. However, the hyperplastic connective tissue does not subside and still exists, so the cervix still maintains its hypertrophic appearance, sometimes even increasing by 1-2 times or more.

Cervical hypertrophy cannot be ruled out. Cervical hypertrophy is a type of chronic cervicitis. Inflammatory changes caused by pathogens infecting the cervical mucosa. Generally, the problem can be solved by cleaning the vulva with feminine care liquid to maintain the vagina's self-cleaning function. However, if harmful bacteria continue to enter the vaginal vault and cervix, it will cause cervical hypertrophy. Further medical attention is recommended.

Cervical cysts are usually caused by chronic inflammation and long-term stimulation. However, if the cyst has already formed, it must be removed surgically. It is also necessary to find out the cause of the inflammation and eliminate the inflammation at the same time.
