What causes cysts in the uterus?

Many female friends cannot conceive for a long time. When they are examined, they will find cysts in their uterus. Cysts can cause some harm to the bodies of many female friends. Most female friends will find that their menstruation becomes irregular and there is a certain itching in the vagina. Severe cases can cause female infertility. Let us learn about some common causes of uterine cysts.

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.

Cervical cyst is a pathological manifestation of chronic cervicitis. During the healing process of cervical erosion, the newly formed squamous epithelium covers the openings of the cervical glandular ducts or extends into the glandular ducts, blocking the openings of the glandular ducts. The hyperplasia of connective tissue or scar formation around the glandular duct compresses the glandular duct, causing it to narrow or even block it. The drainage of glandular secretions is obstructed and retained, forming a cyst called a cervical nabothian cyst. The cysts vary in size, but are generally small and scattered. It can appear alone or in multiples. In chronic cervicitis, the cervical glands and surrounding tissues proliferate. When the gland duct is squeezed by the surrounding tissue and the gland opening is blocked, the secretions in the gland cannot flow out and are retained inside, causing the gland cavity to expand and form cystic tumors of varying sizes, called "cervical gland retention cysts", also known as Nabot cysts. Generally there are no obvious symptoms, but the main symptom of chronic cervicitis is increased vaginal discharge. Due to different pathogens, the color and amount of vaginal discharge are also different.

Therefore, when female friends find out that they have uterine cysts, it is best to go to the hospital for formal treatment in time, and try not to delay for a long time, so as not to aggravate the disease and cause greater harm to the female body. In addition to keeping the vulva clean, female friends should also do moderate exercise to enhance the body's immunity.
