Uterine hypertrophy is an abnormal condition in women and a common gynecological disease. After falling ill, it can affect women's normal life and work, especially by valuing the body and actively seeking reasonable treatment.
Does uterine hypertrophy affect sexual activity?
Uterine hypertrophy is a type of cervicitis, which can be acute or chronic, and is also a common disease among women of childbearing age. Acute cervicitis often coexists with acute endometritis or acute vaginitis, but is common in chronic cervicitis. In fact, uterine hypertrophy may lead to cervical cancer, so if necessary, cervical TCT examination can eliminate early cervical cancer.
Uterine hypertrophy is often caused by long-term stimulation of chronic inflammation in the cervix, resulting in repeated congestion, edema, glandular and interstitial hyperplasia of the cervical tissue. Due to the presence of inflammation, it is generally not suitable to have sex or wear condoms during sex to prevent the spread of inflammation and exacerbate the condition.
Does uterine hypertrophy have an impact on pregnancy?
Uterine hypertrophy is caused by long-term stimulation of chronic inflammation, such as cervical congestion, edema, glandular and interstitial hyperplasia, and mucus retention in the depths of the glands that may form cysts. The cervix has a certain degree of hypertrophy, fibrous connective tissue hyperplasia, and increased hardness. The symptom of uterine hypertrophy is an increase in vaginal discharge. In addition, due to the proliferation of connective tissue and inflammation spreading along the cervix or through the uterosacral ligament to the pelvic cavity, patients often complain of pain in the lumbosacral region or a feeling of heaviness in the perineum
Simple uterine hypertrophy does not affect pregnancy, but in severe cases, it can cause endometritis, salpingoovarianitis, adhesion and blockage of the fallopian tubes, leading to infertility. After pregnancy, it is difficult to determine whether there is still uterine hypertrophy due to hormonal changes. Severe uterine hypertrophy can affect fertility.
The Hazards of Uterine Hypertrophy
1. Sexual bleeding: When there is severe uterine erosion or cervical polyps, it can appear as bloody vaginal bleeding after sexual intercourse. Mild cases may have no systemic symptoms. When inflammation spreads along the uterosacral ligament to the pelvic cavity, there may be pain in the lumbosacral region, bloating in the lower abdomen, and dysmenorrhea, which worsens during bowel movements and sexual activity.
2. Infertility: The enlargement of the uterus is not conducive to sperm penetration, affecting the normal implantation of sperm, leading to infertility.
3. Impact on normal life: For severe patients, uterine hypertrophy can lead to symptoms such as vaginal discharge and bleeding during sexual intercourse, which can also harm women's normal life to a certain extent.
