What is the difference between cervical cysts and uterine fibroids?

Cervical cyst clinically refers to cervical cysts. Cervical cysts and uterine fibroids generally have different causes, different symptoms, and different treatments.

1. Different reasons:

Cervical gland cysts may be caused by obstruction or stenosis of the cervical gland duct opening, which causes secretions to accumulate locally and form cysts. The cause of uterine fibroids may be related to genetics, abnormal sex hormone levels, and stem cell mutations.

2. Different symptoms:

Most patients with cervical glandular cysts have no obvious symptoms. If they are located deep in the cervix, they may cause cervical hypertrophy, which can easily cause increased vaginal discharge or abnormal vaginal discharge after rupture. Uterine fibroids usually cause symptoms such as abnormal menstruation, abdominal lumps, increased leucorrhea, and may also cause lower abdominal swelling, but some patients may have no symptoms.

3. Different treatments:

If the cervical gland cyst has no obvious symptoms, you can choose to observe it temporarily. If the cyst is large or the symptoms are obvious, you can undergo surgical treatments such as cervical gland cyst ostomy, hysterectomy, and hysteroscopic resection under the guidance of a doctor. If patients with uterine fibroids have no symptoms, they can have regular checkups. After symptoms appear, surgical treatments such as myomectomy and hysterectomy can be performed according to the doctor's advice.

In addition to the above differences, there are usually different differences in harm. Patients should pay attention to rest and actively cooperate with doctors in treatment.
