Why do uterine cysts occur?

Why do uterine cysts occur? What we call uterine cysts is actually the common name for cervical cysts. It is a common gynecological disease in clinical practice. Most of them are asymptomatic. A few of them are manifested as vaginal bleeding, abdominal masses, and compression symptoms. So, why do uterine cysts occur?

1. Unclean sexual life. Many women fail to clean their external reproductive organs carefully during sexual intercourse, which causes men to bring bacteria into the female body, or women stop having sex during menstruation, leading to cervical infection and the appearance of uterine cysts.

Second, multiple abortions and proper contraception are the best ways to avoid abortions. Multiple abortions will not only damage women's bodies, but may also damage women's uteruses and cause cysts due to improper operation and other factors.

3. Uterine cysts do not exist independently, they are a manifestation of chronic cervicitis. During the healing process of inflammation, 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 hyperplasia or scar formation of connective tissue around the gland duct compresses the gland duct and may also cause uterine cysts.

4. After the cervical erosion heals, new squamous epithelium grows and covers the cervical gland ducts, causing the duct openings to become obstructed and hyperplastic structures to appear. When the drainage of secretions is blocked, they are retained and form cysts.

5. During the healing process of cervical inflammation, the newly formed squamous epithelium covers the openings of the cervical gland ducts or extends into the gland ducts, causing obstruction of the gland duct openings, which in turn blocks the drainage of glandular secretions and eventually causes retention to form cysts.

Therefore, we should pay attention to hygiene during menstruation, abortion and puerperium. Sexual intercourse and bathing should be strictly prohibited during menstruation and postpartum to prevent pathogens from entering. Pay attention to physical exercise, pay proper attention to nutrition and hygiene, and ensure physical and mental health. We should pay attention to hygiene at ordinary times, keep the vulva clean, prevent pathogens from invading, and avoid damaging the cervix during delivery. If cervical lacerations are found, they should be sutured in time and antibiotics should be used.
