What does cervical enlargement mean?

Cervical dilatation is caused by inflammation, which is common in miscarriage, childbirth or surgical damage to the cervix, and infection caused by the invasion of pathogens. In addition, poor local hygiene or lack of estrogen and poor local resistance can also cause cervical dilatation. Change clothes in time, develop good living habits, keep the body clean and dry, avoid unclean and unprotected sexual life, women should have regular maintenance, deal with cervical diseases in time, and perform cervical smear cytology examination before treatment to eliminate the possibility of lesions.

Under normal circumstances, the size of a woman's uterus is: length 7 weeks 8 cm, width 4 weeks 5 cm, thickness 2 weeks 3 cm, and a volume of 5 ml. If ultrasound shows that the size of the uterus exceeds this data, it is called uterine enlargement. In clinical medicine, there are many causes of uterine enlargement, such as uterine fibroids, uterine hypertrophy, adenomyosis, and uterine sarcoma. Mild uterine enlargement that does not cause any clinical manifestations does not require special treatment. Mild to moderate or severe uterine enlargement can easily cause abnormal uterine bleeding and secondary infertility, and requires relevant treatment.

Women's uterine enlargement is found during B-ultrasound or gynecological bimanual examination, which means that the uterus is enlarged beyond the normal size. Common reasons include the following. After the first pregnancy, the uterus will grow larger as the pregnancy weeks increase. This is physiological uterine enlargement and is a normal phenomenon that does not require special treatment. Second, the abnormal enlargement of the uterus is caused by uterine fibroids or malignant tumors. Third, the abnormal enlargement of the uterus is caused by adenomyosis or adenomyoma. Therefore, if the examination finds that the uterus is enlarged, it must be treated symptomatically according to the actual cause.

If a gynecological examination or B-ultrasound examination shows that the uterus is larger than usual, there are various factors that lead to uterine enlargement: first, if there is inflammation in the uterus, the uterus will also be enlarged. In addition, if there are uterine fibroids, adenomyosis, or uterine adenomyosis in the uterus, these conditions may manifest as uterine enlargement. It is necessary to find out what is going on in the enlarged uterus and then provide targeted symptomatic treatment.
