What are the symptoms of cervical hypertrophy? It’s not too late to watch now

Cervical hypertrophy is a type of chronic cervicitis, which poses a great threat to women's health. The symptoms of cervical hypertrophy are generally not obvious in the early stages of the disease, so it is easy to ignore and miss the best time for treatment. Knowing the symptoms of cervical hypertrophy can help you receive more timely treatment. So what are the symptoms of cervical hypertrophy?

1. Increased leucorrhea

In acute inflammation, leucorrhea is often purulent and is accompanied by lower abdominal pain, frequent urination, urgency, and pain when urinating. When inflammation becomes chronic, leucorrhea often appears milky white mucous or yellow purulent. When the condition is more serious, the surface of the enlarged cervix may experience squamous epithelial shedding and columnar epithelial hyperplasia due to injury or inflammatory stimulation, forming mild erosion.

2. Bleeding during sexual intercourse

In severe cases of cervical erosion or cervical polyps, bloody leucorrhea or bleeding after sexual intercourse may occur. In mild cases, there may be no systemic symptoms. When the inflammation spreads along the uterosacral ligament to the pelvic cavity, there may be pain in the lumbar region, a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen, and dysmenorrhea, which worsens during bowel movements and sexual intercourse.

3. Cervical congestion and edema

Acute inflammation may cause cervical congestion, edema or erosion, with purulent secretions discharged from the cervical canal, and pain when the cervix is ​​touched. Chronic cervicitis may show varying degrees of erosion, hypertrophy, polyps, glandular cysts, and ectropion of the cervix, or purulent secretions at the cervical opening and a hard cervix upon palpation. If it is cervical erosion or polyp, there may be contact bleeding.

4. Infertility

Thick and purulent leucorrhea is not conducive to the passage of sperm and can also cause infertility.
