Common symptoms of cervical hypertrophy

Cervical hypertrophy is often clinically manifested as increased purulent vaginal discharge, accompanied by pain in the lower abdomen and lumbosacral region, or symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and pain when urinating. It is caused by long-term stimulation of chronic inflammation, bleeding, edema, glandular and stroma hyperplasia of cervical tissue, and cysts formed by mucus retention deep in the glands, causing the cervix to hypertrophy to varying degrees. Simple cervical hypertrophy will not affect pregnancy, so it should be treated early. Its common symptoms are as follows:

1. Increased leucorrhea: Acute cervicitis leucorrhea is purulent, accompanied by pain in the lower abdomen and lumbosacral region, or bladder irritation symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and pain. Chronic cervicitis leucorrhea is milky white mucous, or light yellow purulent.

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

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

The symptoms of cervical hypertrophy are mainly excessive menstrual flow and prolonged duration; there are also cases where the cycle is shortened to about 20 days, with no significant change in menstrual flow and duration; or there is a prolonged menstrual period but not much menstrual flow.
