What causes cervical hypertrophy?

There are many reasons for cervical hypertrophy, the most common of which is the stimulation of chronic inflammation. Long-term inflammatory stimulation can lead to hyperplasia of cervical tissue, thus causing cervical hypertrophy. In addition, the proliferation of elastic fiber tissue in the myometrium of multiparous women between smooth muscles and around blood vessels may also lead to cervical hypertrophy. Inflammations such as ovarian dysfunction, chronic adnexitis, pelvic connective tissue inflammation and chronic uterine myositis can also cause collagen fiber proliferation in the myometrium, causing the uterus to become fibrotic and hypertrophic. There are also some rare reasons, such as myometrial vascular sclerosis and primary uterine vascular lesions, which may also lead to cervical hypertrophy.

The following factors may also cause cervical hypertrophy:

1. In multiparous women, elastic fiber tissue in the uterine myometrium proliferates between smooth muscles and around blood vessels, causing cervical hypertrophy.

2. Ovarian dysfunction, such as patients with functional uterine bleeding, may experience hypertrophy of the uterine muscle layer due to continuous stimulation of estrogen.

3. Inflammatory effects, such as chronic adnexitis, pelvic connective tissue inflammation and chronic uterine myositis, may cause collagen fiber proliferation in the myometrium, leading to uterine fibrosis and hypertrophy.

4. Myometrial vascular sclerosis or primary uterine vascular disease may also lead to cervical hypertrophy.

There are many reasons for cervical hypertrophy, among which chronic inflammation is one of the most common reasons. Understanding the causes of cervical hypertrophy can help prevent and treat the disease.
