Is surgery necessary for uterine cysts?

The cervix is ​​an important organ of women. Cervical cyst is also a common disease among women, and many women have been troubled by it. Patients with cervical cysts have different manifestations of the disease, so the treatment method for each person is also different. It is important to choose a method that suits you. So, what exactly causes cervical cysts? Is surgery necessary? Let’s take a look at it together below!

Uterine cyst is not a professional term involved in obstetrics and gynecology. Uterine cyst usually refers to cervical cyst, which is a type of chronic cervicitis and a common gynecological disease. Women with cervical cysts will mainly experience increased vaginal discharge, which is mucopurulent. The irritation of vaginal discharge can cause vulvar itching and burning sensation, and may also experience symptoms such as intermenstrual bleeding and bleeding after sexual intercourse.

First of all, we need to make sure that the diagnosis is accurate. If it is indeed a uterine cyst, this disease is nothing serious and surgery is not necessary. It is irresponsible for the doctor to say that surgery is required immediately. Currently, surgery is not the first choice for the treatment of uterine cysts. Surgery is very traumatic and not worth it! The purpose of treatment can be achieved by percutaneous puncture or transvaginal puncture of the posterior fornix of the uterus (depending on the specific location) and placement of a drainage tube. Less trauma and better therapeutic effect. If the cyst is tumorous in nature and contains more than just liquid but substantial material, surgery can be considered!

Generally speaking, scattered smaller cervical glandular cysts do not require treatment, only annual check-ups are sufficient; for densely packed smaller Nabothian cysts or larger cysts, physical treatments such as phototherapy, laser, microwave, and self-coagulating knife can be considered; for larger ones protruding from the surface of the cervix, electrosurgical resection can be considered.

Suggestions: Under long-term inflammatory stimulation, a small number of patients with chronic cervicitis have a tendency to malignant transformation, so high attention is still needed. Therefore, patients with cervical cysts should undergo cervical smear tests every year to exclude cervical cancer and precancerous diseases.

The above is the expert’s answer to the question of what causes cervical cysts and how to treat them. I hope that patients with this phenomenon can go to the hospital as soon as possible to find out the cause and type of the disease and seek medical attention early. Don’t think that this is just a minor illness and ignore it. In many cases, this idea is often wrong.
