What is Naboth's cyst?

What is Nabothian cyst? Nabothian cyst, also known as cervical gland cyst, is a common gynecological disease that often makes many female friends feel like they are facing a formidable enemy. This disease, like cervical erosion and cervical polyps, is a manifestation of chronic cervicitis. So, what is Nabothian cyst? Let's take a look.

The cause of the formation of Nabothian cyst is similar to that of "acne" on the face. During the healing process of cervical erosion, the newly formed squamous epithelium covers the opening of the cervical gland duct or extends into the gland duct, blocking the opening of the gland duct; the connective tissue around the gland duct proliferates or scars form, compressing the gland duct, causing the gland duct to narrow or even block, and the drainage of glandular secretions is blocked. The cyst formed by retention is called cervical Nabothian cyst.

During the examination, you can see multiple bluish-white vesicles (not purple) of varying sizes protruding from the surface of the cervix, containing mucus. Some are as big as rice grains, some are as big as corn kernels, and some can grow very large, protruding from the surface of the cervix and even reaching the vaginal opening. The roots are connected to the cervix by a pedicle, and are often accompanied by cervical hypertrophy. In chronic cervicitis, the cervical glands and surrounding tissues proliferate.

Cysts are usually small and scattered, and can protrude from the surface of the cervix. The small ones are only as big as rice grains, and the large ones can be as big as corn kernels. They are bluish-white and may be accompanied by erosion, but they are also common on the smooth surface of the cervix. There are clear white cysts of varying sizes protruding from the surface of the cervix, ranging from small ones like rice grains to large ones with a diameter of more than 1 cm. Cysts can be single or multiple, and have a smooth surface.
