How to treat cervical hypertrophy

Cervical hypertrophy can be intervened through drug treatment, physical therapy, surgical treatment, etc. The specific plan needs to be formulated based on the cause and severity of symptoms. Cervical hypertrophy may be related to chronic inflammatory stimulation, abnormal hormone levels, childbirth injuries and other factors. It usually manifests as symptoms such as increased leucorrhea and lumbosacral soreness.

1. Drug treatment

Cervical hypertrophy caused by chronic cervicitis can be treated with anti-infective drugs as directed by the doctor, such as azithromycin tablets and doxycycline hydrochloride tablets to inhibit the reproduction of pathogens, and can be combined with local application of Chinese patent medicines such as Baofukang suppository to relieve symptoms. People with hormone disorders may need progesterone capsules to regulate endocrine. Cervical status needs to be reviewed regularly during drug treatment.

2. Physical therapy

High-frequency electrosurgery is suitable for patients with moderate hypertrophy and erosion. The high heat generated by the electrode causes the diseased tissue to coagulate and fall off. Cryotherapy uses liquid nitrogen to cause necrosis of abnormal tissue at low temperatures, and is suitable for patients with small lesions. Vaginal discharge may occur after physical therapy, and the perineum needs to be kept clean to avoid infection.

3. Surgical treatment

Cervical conization is suitable for patients with hypertrophy and high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia, by removing part of the cervical tissue for pathological examination. For postmenopausal patients with refractory hypertrophy or suspected malignant transformation, total hysterectomy may be required. After surgery, bathing and sexual intercourse are prohibited, and regular follow-up HPV and TCT examinations are required.

4. Traditional Chinese Medicine Conditioning

For the damp-heat type, you can take Fuke Qianjin Tablets and Sophora Sophora Gel, while for the type with qi stagnation and blood stasis, Guizhi Fuling Capsules are suitable. Traditional Chinese medicine fumigation and bathing, such as Cnidium monnieri and Cortex Phellodendron decoction, can improve local circulation. Acupuncture selects acupuncture points such as Guanyuan and the uterus, and treats them several times a week to promote the flow of qi and blood.

5. Daily care

Avoid using alkaline lotions to rinse the vagina, choose pure cotton breathable underwear and change it daily. Change sanitary napkins frequently during menstruation and reduce the frequency of use of sanitary pads. Maintain a regular schedule and perform appropriate Kegel exercises to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles. Have regular gynecological examinations every year and seek medical advice promptly if abnormal bleeding is found.

Patients with cervical hypertrophy should avoid spicy and irritating foods and supplement vitamin E and selenium in an appropriate amount. Sexual intercourse is prohibited in the acute phase, and condoms are recommended to reduce mechanical stimulation in the chronic phase. Combined vaginitis requires standardized treatment of the primary disease, and those who use immunosuppressants for a long time need to strengthen cervical cancer screening. Daily contact bleeding or abnormal discharge should be evaluated by a doctor as soon as possible.
