Initially, the hypertrophy of an organ is called an increase in its size. The most common cause of increase (hypertrophy) of the cervix are chronic inflammatory diseases, hormonal disorders, frequent traumatization, for example, during childbirth and abortion.
Anatomic variants of hypertrophy and treatment tactics
Most often symptoms of cervical hypertrophy are manifested in the process of ovulation and prolapse of the uterus . Usually this condition is accompanied by the corresponding elongation of the cervix. Hypertrophy of the cervix with simultaneous uterine prolapse is corrected by a complex plastic surgery.
However, the cervix is hypertrophic and in the normal position of the uterus. If this gives a sense of loss and the length of the cervix is significant, then this situation may also require surgical intervention.
The cervix can be hypertrophied due to inflammation.
There is a swelling of the neck and a so-called follicular hypertrophy is formed. The glandular ducts in the area of inflammation are often clogged due to swelling. Retention vesicles are formed, filled with a secret. At this time, the stromal tissue grows and the bubbles dive deep into the neck, forming cysts. Their size varies from 2-6 mm in diameter. Historically, they are called paternal cysts . Such cysts lead to a significant thickening of the cervix.
Treatment of pancreatic cysts
One of the most common ways to treat this type of hypertrophy is scarification. Simply put, opening the cysts with small punctures and tamponing the wound. Such interference is not always justified and effective. In addition, there are a number of contraindications, such as inflammatory diseases.
Another method is diathermocoagulation. When it is performed, there is no bloodletting, all vessels are cauterized simultaneously, which gives an additional positive effect in the fight against inflammation.
In any case, an additional consultation with an experienced specialist is necessary, taking into account the individual characteristics of the course of the disease of each particular patient and combating possible recurrences and complications.
