Can you get pregnant if you have an enlarged cervix? Beware of infertility

Many women have cervical hypertrophy. If it is simple cervical hypertrophy, it will have little effect on pregnancy. However, if there is severe cervicitis, it is likely to lead to infertility. Prevention should be done in daily life, private hygiene should be maintained, and artificial abortion should be avoided.

1. Can I get pregnant if I have an enlarged cervix?

Cervical hypertrophy usually refers to the enlargement of the uterus and the thickness of the muscle layer exceeds a certain limit. It is usually accompanied by the occurrence of other gynecological diseases of varying degrees. This is a disease with a higher incidence in recent years. Cervical hypertrophy is a type of chronic cervicitis, which is an inflammatory change caused by pathogens infecting the cervical mucosa. Generally speaking, the main symptom of cervical hypertrophy is increased leucorrhea. Since the sticky and purulent leucorrhea will hinder spermatogenesis, it can cause infertility. However, in general, simple cervical hypertrophy has no effect on pregnancy, but it will be accompanied by severe cervicitis, which may lead to infertility.

2. Physical therapy

1. Electric ironing: Use the electric iron head to touch the eroded surface to coagulate 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, place the probe on the eroded surface for 1 to 3 minutes, remove it after natural rewarming, and cause the diseased tissue to freeze and necrotize. 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

3. Prevention of cervical hypertrophy

1. Change your underwear frequently, and wear loose underwear. Do not wear underwear made of nylon or other non-cotton products.

2. The patient's underwear, used bathtubs, towels, etc. should be boiled in hot water for disinfection.

3. It is advisable to flush the vagina once a week to avoid bacterial imbalance and bacterial infection.

4. Stop having sex. If either man or woman suffers from athlete's foot, they should actively seek treatment.

5. For those who are malnourished, physically weak or suffer from chronic diseases (such as diabetes), pay close attention to whether there are fungal infections in other parts of the body, actively control the primary disease and improve the body's resistance.

6. This disease may be complicated by Trichomonas vaginalis, so you should check for Trichomonas vaginalis infection. If so, you should treat it together.
