What Is Squamous Dysplasia?
Squamous epithelial hyperplasia of the cervix refers to abnormal growth of the squamous epithelium of the cervix, but it is not typical enough, that is, it is not enough to diagnose cancer. It is also called "poor structure". According to the degree of proliferation, it can be divided into three types: mild, moderate and high.

- Squamous epithelial hyperplasia of the cervix refers to abnormal growth of the squamous epithelium of the cervix, but it is not typical enough, that is, it is not enough to diagnose cancer. It is also called "poor structure". According to the degree of proliferation, it can be divided into three types: mild, moderate and high.
- According to observation statistics, there can be three transformation results of atypical hyperplasia: after treatment, most of them can return to normal, some remain unchanged, and a small part become cancer. Because atypical hyperplasia can be transformed into cancer, and often coexist with cancer (some areas of dysplasia and cancer in the same cervix), there is a certain degree of potential malignancy, and it is clinically called "cancer "Pre-stage lesions" and active treatment.
- 1. Chronic inflammation is stimulated for a long time, which causes cervical congestion and edema, hyperplasia of cervical glands and interstitial tissue, and causes cervical hypertrophy to varying degrees.
- 2. Mucus retention may occur in the deep part of the cervical glands, forming cysts of various sizes, making the cervix hypertrophy.
- Cervical hypertrophy can sometimes be 2 to 4 times larger than a normal cervix. The surface of the cervix can be smooth or erosive. The texture of the cervix is generally stiff, which is caused by fibrous connective tissue hyperplasia. Cervical hypertrophy generally does not require treatment. If erosion, cervical erosion can be treated.
- Squamous epithelial shedding and columnar epithelial hyperplasia can also occur due to hypertrophy of the cervical surface due to injury or inflammation. After the inflammation was treated, the local congestion and edema of the cervix subsided, and the surface of the cervix was covered with squamous epithelium again, and returned to smooth. However, the hyperplastic connective tissue does not subside, and it still exists, so the cervix still maintains its appearance of hypertrophy, and sometimes it can even increase by 1--2 times.
- The main clinical symptom of cervical hypertrophy is increased vaginal discharge. In addition, because connective tissue hyperplasia and inflammation spread to the pelvic cavity along the cervix or transcondylar ligament, patients often complain of lumbosacral pain or perineal bulging, which are two prominent symptoms of cervical hypertrophy.
