What is cervical stenosis
What is cervical stenosis? Cervical stenosis is mainly caused by a very small cervical opening, which can have an impact on the body and needs to be treated promptly. Common symptoms include abnormal menstruation, painful intercourse and secondary infertility.
Symptoms of cervical stenosis
Common symptoms in premenopausal patients with cervical stenosis include amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, abnormal bleeding and infertility. Patients with postmenopausal cervical stenosis may be asymptomatic for long periods of time. Hematoma of the uterus and pus buildup in the uterus can cause the uterus to enlarge and sometimes a lump may be felt.
Treatment for cervical stenosis
If a patient with cervical stenosis is symptomatic or has uterine abnormalities that indicate treatment, typical treatment options include cervical dilation and stent placement.
