Hypertrophy (from Greek ὑπέρ "excess" + τροφή "nourishment") is the increase in the volume of an organ or tissue due to the enlargement of its component cells. It should be distinguished from hyperplasia, in which the cells remain approximately the same size but increase in number. Although hypertrophy and hyperplasia are two distinct processes, they frequently occur together, such as in the case of the hormonally-induced proliferation and enlargement of the cells of the uterus during pregnancy.

What is hypertropic facet joint?
Hypertropic facet joints refer to the enlargement or overgrowth of the facet joints in the spine, which can occur due to degeneration or arthritis. This condition often leads to pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion in the affected area. The hypertrophy can cause nerve compression, potentially resulting in radicular symptoms such as tingling or weakness in the limbs. Treatment options may include physical therapy, medication, or surgical interventions, depending on the severity of symptoms.

Can you change your nose piercing if you have a hypertropic reaction?
Yes you can. Its actually recommended if you think that's the cause for the ht scarring. If the jewelry is too tight or if its a ring and it keeps getting hit, it could cause the ht scarring. I suggest tht you go to your piercing and them change it out to whatever works best for you.
What does progressive central canal stenosis at L3-4 related to broad disc protrusion and hypertropic facetligamentum flava changes mean?
Progressive central canal stenosis at the L3-4 level indicates a narrowing of the spinal canal at this area, which can lead to compression of the spinal cord or nerve roots. This condition is associated with a broad disc protrusion, suggesting that the intervertebral disc is bulging and contributing to the narrowing. Additionally, hypertrophic changes in the facet joints and ligamentum flavum imply that these structures have thickened, further exacerbating the stenosis. Together, these findings can result in symptoms such as pain, numbness, or weakness in the lower extremities.
I've had my industrial for 2 and a half months and i have noticed a small bump beside the pierced hole and it doesn't hurt and i don't sleep on my ear?
It is probably hypertropic scarring. Go out and buy some tea tree oil at walmart or just about any drugstore. After you clean your ear, just dab a bit of the oil on the bump and leave it. Do that once or twice a day until th bump goes away. The oil will dry out the bump and it'll flake off in layers.
