What does uneven cervical echo mean?

Uneven cervical echo is a description of the state of cervical tissue in medical imaging (such as B-ultrasound or vaginal ultrasound). It is not a definite diagnosis, but indicates that there may be some abnormal changes in the cervical region.

Under B-ultrasound detection, normal cervical tissue usually presents uniform echo, while when cervical inflammation, cysts, polyps or other lesions occur, their echo characteristics will change and appear uneven. Uneven cervical echo may be caused by a variety of reasons, including cervicitis, cervical cysts, cervical polyps, etc. Cervicitis is an inflammation of cervical tissue after infection or stimulation by pathogens, which can lead to congestion and edema on the surface of the cervix and increased secretions, thus affecting the uniformity of B-ultrasound echo. Cervical cysts are cystic structures formed due to blockage of cervical gland outlets and retention of secretions, which can also cause B-ultrasound echo to present uneven state. Cervical polyps are localized vegetations formed by hyperplasia of cervical tissue, which can also lead to uneven echo. It

should be noted that uneven echo of the cervix is not equivalent to cancer, but it may be an early manifestation of some cervical lesions. Therefore, when uneven echo of the cervix is found, further examination should be carried out to clarify the cause and targeted treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.
