What causes cysts on the uterus?

The womb is our first cradle and our first place to play. Not only that, the uterus is also where a variety of female hormones are produced, which help women maintain their secondary sexual characteristics. If there is a problem with the uterus, it will not only affect a woman's fertility, but will also directly affect her appearance. A common uterine disease is uterine cyst. Today I will tell you some common knowledge about uterine cyst.

Uterine 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.

Cervical cyst is a type of chronic cervicitis, which generally has no obvious symptoms. The main symptom of chronic cervicitis is increased vaginal discharge. Due to different pathogens, the color and amount of vaginal discharge are also different. Leucorrhea may be mucous or purulent, sometimes with streaks of blood or a small amount of blood, and may also cause contact bleeding. Pain often occurs in the lower abdomen or lumbosacral area, and pelvic pain or dysmenorrhea may occur, which is often aggravated during menstruation, bowel movements or sexual intercourse. In addition, irregular menstruation and infertility may occur.

If possible, you should have a cervical smear test every year to rule out cervical cancer and precancerous conditions. Scattered, smaller cervical cysts generally do not require treatment, and annual checks are sufficient. For densely packed smaller Nabothian cysts or relatively large cysts, phototherapy, laser, microwave, and other physical treatments may be considered.

The consequences of suffering from a cyst can be serious or minor. Once an abnormality occurs, it should be checked and treated accordingly in a timely manner. You should also do preventive work in your daily life, pay attention to hygiene, clean the vulva every day; exercise every day to enhance immunity; plan your family and do not have artificial abortions at will; and have regular gynecological examinations.
