What causes the uterus to harden?

The female uterus is a very important organ for women, because if there is a problem with the female uterus, it will affect the normal pregnancy function of the female, and at this time it is very likely that the female's right to be a mother will be deprived. The hardening of the female uterus is a common uterine disease, which is particularly prone to cause uterine tumors. So what is the reason for the hardening of the female uterus?

(1) Chronic inflammation and long-term stimulation cause cervical congestion, edema, and proliferation of cervical glands and stroma, leading to varying degrees of cervical hypertrophy.

(2) Mucus may accumulate deep in the cervical glands, forming cysts of varying sizes, causing the cervix to become enlarged. Cervical hypertrophy can sometimes be 2 to 4 times larger than a normal cervix. The surface of the cervix can be smooth or eroded. The texture of the cervix is ​​generally hard, which is caused by the proliferation of fibrous connective tissue. Cervical hypertrophy generally does not require treatment. If there is erosion, the cervical erosion can be treated.

The uterus is the name of a part of the human body located in the center of the pelvic cavity, between the bladder and the rectum. From the purple quartz entry in "Shennong's Herbal Classic". Also known as the uterus, the uterus, the uterus, the female womb, the uterus, and the blood organ. It is the organ that discharges menstruation and nurtures the fetus in women, and belongs to the extraordinary palace. It is located below the belt meridian, in the lower abdomen, with the bladder in front, the rectum behind, and the lower end extending into the vagina. It completes its physiological functions through the joint action of the internal organs and the Tiangui, Chong, Ren, Du and Dai meridians. The uterus is the cradle of life. From adolescence to old age, you must protect your uterus. Except for genetic factors, all diseases are preventable, and the key to uterine health lies in prevention. Uterine taboos, ignoring pre-pregnancy and prenatal examinations, taking measures without permission during unexpected pregnancy, malformation, multiple births, abuse of labor-inducing drugs, etc.

The uterus is located in the middle of the pelvis, between the bladder and rectum. Its position may vary depending on the fullness of the bladder and rectum or body position. When standing upright, the uterine body is almost parallel to the horizontal plane, the uterine fundus lies above the posterior and superior part of the bladder, and the cervix remains above the plane of the ischial spines. The normal uterus of an adult is in a slightly anteverted and anteflexed posture. Anteversion means that the uterine axis and the vaginal axis are open forward at an angle, and anteflexion is the curvature between the uterine body and the cervix. The normal position of the uterus is mainly maintained by structures such as the uterine ligaments, pelvic diaphragm, urogenital diaphragm and perineal central tendon. When these structures are damaged or loose, uterine prolapse may occur.

The uterus can be divided into four parts: fundus, body, isthmus, and cervix. The upper end is blunt and rounded, and the part located above the cervical opening of the fallopian tubes on both sides is the fundus; the narrow and cylindrical part at the lower end is the cervix, which is a frequent site of inflammation and cancer. The cervix is ​​further divided into the upper vaginal part and the vaginal part. The part between the bottom and the neck is the body; the narrow part between the lower part of the body and the neck is the isthmus. The uterine isthmus gradually expands with the pregnancy period, and the lower uterine segment is obviously formed at the time of delivery. Obstetricians often perform cesarean section to deliver the fetus here. The place where the upper part of the two sides of the uterus meet the fallopian tubes is called the uterine horns. The front of the uterus is adjacent to the top of the bladder through the vesico-uterine pouch, the front of the upper part of the cervix and vagina is adjacent to the bottom of the bladder through the vesico-vaginal septum, and the cervix and vagina are adjacent to the urethra through the urethrovaginal septum; the back of the uterus is adjacent to the rectum through the rectouterine pouch and the rectovaginal septum.
