What should I do if my cervix is ​​a little enlarged?

The female body structure is very complex, especially the lower body, because it is responsible for giving birth to the next generation, and many organs are prepared for giving birth to the next generation. . The uterus is one of them. The uterus is mainly the cradle of the baby when it is in the mother's belly. However, because the uterus is connected to the vagina, the vagina is easily infected with bacteria, causing the cervix of some women to become enlarged. What should you do at this time?

What is cervical hypertrophy

Cervical hypertrophy is a type of chronic cervicitis. Inflammatory changes caused by pathogens infecting the cervical mucosa. The pathogens that cause cervical hypertrophy include mycoplasma, chlamydia, bacteria, and viruses. It is recommended that you go to the hospital's gynecology department to have a cervical secretion examination and receive symptomatic treatment based on the examination results. Simple cervical hypertrophy will not affect pregnancy; but severe cervicitis can cause endometritis, salpingo-oophoritis, fallopian tube adhesions and blockage, leading to infertility.

How to treat cervical hypertrophy

1. General treatment

Many harmful bacteria invade the vagina first in the mucous membrane and folds of the vaginal side walls. This is a minor infection, which can usually be solved by cleaning the vulva with feminine care liquid to maintain the self-cleaning function of the vagina. However, if the harmful bacteria continue to enter the vaginal vault and cervix, it will cause cervical hypertrophy. At this time, the self-cleaning function of the vagina cannot solve the problem. You need to use a wash solution, and it is best to go deep into the vaginal vault and cervix. The length of the catheter is determined according to the physiological characteristics of women. This can significantly improve the inflammation in the vault area.

2. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment

3. Diet therapy

Diet therapy is very good for the treatment of cervical hypertrophy. However, it does not mean that diet therapy can completely cure cervical hypertrophy, but it can play a role in regulating the body and controlling the disease. There are several types of dietary therapy:

(1) Put 30 grams of fresh silkworm excrement (wrapped in cloth) and 30 grams of Job's tears into a clay pot, add appropriate amount of water and boil it. Take it once a day for 5 to 7 days.

(2) Wrap 9 grams of lentil flowers and 12 grams of Chinese toon bark in gauze, add 200 ml of water, boil and extract 150 ml. Drink in divided doses. It usually takes one week to see the effect.

4. Physical therapy

For patients with cervical hypertrophy, deep and extensive erosion involving the cervical canal, and/or suspected malignant changes, physical therapy can be selected. Common treatments include:

(1) Electric ironing: Use the electric iron head to contact the eroded surface to solidify the tissue and form a scab. The scab will begin to fall off after about two weeks, and it usually takes 6 to 8 weeks for the wound to heal. The operation should be performed 3 to 5 days after the end of menstruation. Do not use if you have adnexitis. After treatment, leucorrhea may temporarily increase or cause bleeding. If there is a lot of bleeding, use sterile gauze to apply pressure to stop the bleeding and remove it after 24 hours. The disadvantage is that scar contraction may sometimes lead to cervical stenosis.

(2) Cryotherapy: Use a liquid nitrogen rapid cooling device to place the probe on the eroded surface for 1 to 3 minutes, then remove it after natural rewarming to freeze and necrotize the diseased tissue. A lot of watery discharge may occur 2 to 3 weeks after treatment. The advantage is that bleeding and cervical stenosis occur less frequently.

(3) Laser treatment: Laser carbonizes and forms scabs on the eroded tissue, and the healing process is the same as the previous two treatment methods.

(4) Focused Ultrasound Therapy
