Cervical hyperplasia will affect fertility, you should know these precautions

Cervical hyperplasia is a type of hypertrophy caused by chronic cervical inflammation. The main clinical symptom is increased vaginal discharge, which affects women's normal life and work. In severe cases, it may also affect fertility, so it should be taken seriously. What should you pay attention to if you suffer from cervical hypertrophy?

Causes of cervical hypertrophy:

1. Chronic inflammation and long-term stimulation cause cervical congestion and edema, and hyperplasia of cervical glands and stroma.

2. Mucus retention may occur deep in the cervical glands, forming cysts of varying sizes. Sometimes it can be 2 to 4 times larger than a normal cervix, and the surface of the cervix can be smooth or eroded. The texture of the cervix is ​​generally hard, which is caused by the hyperplasia of fibrous connective tissue.

The hospital's gynecology department will examine cervical secretions and provide symptomatic treatment based on the results. If necessary, a cervical TCT examination can be performed to rule out early cervical cancer. Simple cervical hypertrophy will not affect pregnancy, but severe cervicitis can cause endometritis, salpingo-oophoritis, fallopian tube adhesions and blockage, leading to infertility.

Symptoms of cervical hypertrophy:

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. The main clinical symptom of cervical hypertrophy is increased vaginal discharge. In addition, due to the proliferation of connective tissue and the spread of inflammation along the cervix or through the uterosacral ligament to the pelvic cavity, patients often complain of lumbar pain or a feeling of heaviness in the perineum, which are two of the more prominent symptoms of cervical hypertrophy.

Cervical hypertrophy precautions:

(1) Change your underwear frequently and wear loose underwear. Do not wear underwear made of nylon or other non-cotton materials.

(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), close attention should be paid to whether there are fungal infections in other parts of the body, and the primary disease should be actively controlled to improve the body's resistance.
