Cervical natriuretic cyst

Gynecological diseases emerge in an endless stream and often occur in our lives, but there are still many gynecological diseases that we do not understand or recognize. When people suddenly ask us about them or we discover them ourselves, we often feel a little unfamiliar with them. For example, cervical nabothian cysts are different from ordinary cervical cysts and are accompanied by erosion. The specific treatment method should be selected according to the patient's physical condition.

Cervical Nabothian cyst (also called "Nabothian cyst"), like cervical erosion and cervical polyps, is a manifestation of cervical erosion. The cause of cervical cysts is similar to that of "acne" on the face. During the healing process of cervical erosion, the new 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 hyperplasia or scar formation on all sides of the gland duct compresses 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.

Of course, cervical cyst is a disease caused by a common cause. However, as far as cervical cyst, a type of cervical erosion, is concerned, general cervical cyst patients do not have any obvious symptoms except for increased leucorrhea. Therefore, this also creates a great obstacle for the treatment of cervical cysts.

After all, what causes cervical cysts?

Cervical cyst is a type of cervical erosion. If there are no clinical symptoms, no treatment is needed temporarily and it has no obvious effect on fertility. If clinical symptoms are present, symptomatic treatment can be given under the guidance of the attending physician. Laser, electroresection and other methods can be used to remove the cyst if necessary.

In chronic cervicitis, the cervical glands and surrounding tissues proliferate. When the glandular duct is squeezed by the surrounding tissues and the glandular opening is blocked, the secretions in the gland cannot flow out and are retained inside, causing the glandular cavity to expand and form cystic tumors of varying sizes, which are called "cervical glandular retention cysts", also known as Nabot cysts, that is, cervical cysts. The mucus it contains is often clear and transparent, but may be turbid and purulent due to concurrent infection. The cysts are usually small and scattered and may protrude from the surface of the cervix.

The small ones are only the size of millet grains, and the large ones can be as big as corn kernels. They are bluish white in color and may be accompanied by erosion, but they are also common in cervix with smooth surface. Due to the long-term stimulation of chronic inflammation, the cervical tissue repeatedly becomes congested and edematous, inflammatory cells infiltrate and connective tissue proliferates, resulting in cervical hypertrophy. In severe cases, the cervix can increase by more than 1 times compared to a normal cervix. Severe inflammation can lead to abnormal menstrual cycles or even infertility.

What harm does cervical cyst do to women?

1. Cause other diseases:

Since cervical cysts are caused by bacterial infection, and general gynecological surgery, abortion, insertion and removal of IUDs, etc., can easily cause infection, once infected, the disease will spread to other parts of the body, causing pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexitis, etc.

2. Leading to female infertility:

Cervical cysts will cause a large amount of secretions in the patient's body. The white blood cells in the secretions will engulf sperm, greatly reducing the number and vitality of sperm, making it impossible for the egg to combine with sperm normally, leading to infertility. If women with cervical cysts fail to receive timely treatment, the cysts at the cervical opening will block the cervical opening, preventing sperm from entering smoothly and causing infertility. Therefore, the harm of cervical cysts is very great, and women must pay attention to the treatment of this disease.

3. May cause cancer:

Cervical cysts need to be treated promptly after they are discovered. If not treated promptly, cervical cysts can cause cervical hypertrophy, and in severe cases the cervix can increase by more than 1 times compared to a normal cervix. Patients with severe inflammation may not only suffer from menstrual abnormalities, but also may develop cancer.

What can women do to prevent cervical nabothian cysts? The following expert will give us a detailed introduction.

1. Patients with cervical cysts should pay more attention to hygiene and keep the vulva clean and dry. They should pay special attention to menstrual hygiene and sexual hygiene to prevent the invasion of pathogens and infection. In addition, pay attention to hygiene during the abortion and postpartum period. Sexual intercourse and bathing in a tub should be strictly prohibited during menstruation and after delivery to prevent pathogenic bacteria from taking advantage of the opportunity to enter.
