What is cervical hypertrophy?

Cervical hypertrophy, then as the name implies, is a relative increase in the appearance of the cervical tissue that is relatively large. The most common cause of cervical hypertrophy is congenital hypertrophy, where some women are born with a relatively enlarged cervical size compared to other women. There is also a portion of cervical hypertrophy due to chronic inflammatory irritation of this cervix resulting in cervical hypertrophy. It is generally recommended that women with cervical hypertrophy should undergo TCT and HPV tests to determine whether there are low grade or high grade cervical lesions, and HPV tests to detect whether the cervix is infected with human papillomavirus. If TCT reports some low grade lesions or even some high grade lesions in the cervix or if the HPV test is positive for some subtypes of HPV, further colposcopy is recommended. A colposcopic biopsy will be taken for pathological examination to clarify whether there are further lesions in the cervix. If there are low grade lesions or high grade lesions in the cervix, it is recommended to go to the hospital for further treatment.
