What is a cervical cyst?

Cervical nabothian cyst is a chronic inflammation of the cervix. It is usually caused by local damage to the cervix or inflammation of the cervix, which leads to narrowing or occlusion of the glandular duct opening, so that the glandular secretions cannot be discharged normally and are retained in the cervix. Cervical nabothian cysts mostly occur in women of childbearing age. Usually there are no obvious symptoms, but occasionally there may be symptoms such as cervical hypertrophy and cervical erosion.

1. Cause: The causes of cervical nabothian cyst mainly include local cervical injury, cervical inflammation, long-term chronic inflammatory stimulation, etc.

2. Symptoms: Cervical nabothian cysts usually have no obvious symptoms, but a few patients may experience cervical hypertrophy, cervical erosion and other symptoms. If combined with infection, symptoms such as increased vaginal discharge, color changes, and odor may occur.

3. Diagnosis: The diagnosis of cervical nabothian cyst mainly relies on gynecological examination and ultrasound examination. Gynecological examination can show small cysts protruding from the surface of the cervix, and ultrasound examination can show cystic lesions in the cervix.

4. Treatment: For asymptomatic cervical Nabothian cysts, treatment is usually not required; for patients with symptoms or concurrent infections, drug therapy, physical therapy or surgical treatment can be used.
