What causes a hard cervix?

The cervix is ​​a part of the female reproductive system. It is adjacent to the vagina in front and the uterus behind. It is a very important organ. Cervical cancer has always been a major factor endangering women's health. Although there is a cervical vaccine now, many women still suffer from cervical diseases. Some people may have experienced the symptom of a hard cervix, which is related to aging, but gynecological inflammation is also a major cause of a hard cervix. For the sake of health, it is recommended that women have a cervical examination at least once a year.

1. What causes the cervix to become hard?

A hard cervix in women means that the cervix does not have much elasticity. This usually applies to young women, because the cervix of older women is not as elastic as when they were young. This is a natural phenomenon. As we age, our body organs will gradually age. If a young woman's cervix is ​​hard, inelastic or has poor elasticity, then there is some problem with your cervix. It is very likely that the woman's cervix is ​​inflamed, that is, the woman has a gynecological disease. Go to the hospital for regular examination and treatment in time. Do not delay, so as not to delay the best treatment period. There are many factors that cause inflammation, such as poor personal hygiene, too frequent or messy sexual intercourse, artificial abortion or medical abortion, which can cause great damage to the cervix and reduce the immunity of the cervix, making it easy for bacteria to enter the body.

If you find that your cervix is ​​hard but you do not go to the hospital for treatment in time, it is very likely that the infection will continue, or even cross-infection, which will cause greater harm to the female body. If you are a female friend who wants a baby, you must seek medical treatment in time. If you do not receive timely treatment, you may not be able to conceive successfully, and it will also cause harm to the baby. Expectant mothers in their childbearing period should not give birth naturally. A hard cervix is ​​not conducive to the mother's smooth delivery. It is recommended to choose cesarean section, which will have a higher safety index.

2. Methods to improve hard cervix:

1. It depends on whether you are pregnant or if the cervix needs to be softened for IUD insertion. If it is induced labor, we can usually use carbapenem suppositories, etc. If a woman has a full-term baby and her cervix is ​​hard, we can use pratestosterone for three days and then consider using oxytocin to induce labor.

2. If you want to soften your cervix, female friends can actually drink some jasmine tea. It can effectively help you soften the cervical tissue, and you can also go out for a walk, exercise, and relax.

3. A smooth delivery requires that all conditions are ripe. If people are in poor condition, then at this time they cannot just rely on dripping oxytocin to induce labor, placing water bags or drugs in the posterior fornix of the vagina to promote cervical ripening. Relatively speaking, drugs that promote cervical ripening are also safer. Drugs that can be placed include Probeson, etc. If you are past your due date, softening your cervix is ​​no longer particularly appropriate. The time it takes for the cervix to mature after the cervix softens is actually different for each person. If the midwife is experienced, she can make appropriate corrections. If the fetal heart rate changes during the medication process, we may still have to perform a caesarean section.
