Cervical hypertrophy

Cervical hypertrophy is a type of chronic cervicitis, inflammatory change from pathogen infection of cervical mucosa. Pathogens include Mycoplasma, Chlamydia, bacteria, viruses. Simple hypertrophy does not affect pregnancy; severe cervicitis can cause endometritis, tubo-ovarian inflammation, tubal adhesion/obstruction and infertility. It usually needs no treatment; if erosion exists, treat the erosion.

Causes

Cervical glandular mucus retention forms cysts of varying size, enlarging the cervix; chronic inflammation also contributes.

Treatment

Usually none; treat erosion if present

Prevention

Treat cervical infection.
