Is a cyst on the cervix serious?

If a cyst occurs at the opening of your cervix, it is definitely very dangerous. However, this varies from person to person. For some people, the number and size of cysts are very small, and there will be no symptoms. In this case, there is no need to do too much treatment, just adjust your daily rhythm of life. However, if it is growing, appropriate surgical treatment must be taken.

Cervical glandular cysts appear as multiple small yellow-white vesicles that protrude from the surface of the cervix and contain colorless jelly-like substances. If accompanied by infection, the vesicles are mostly white or yellow in appearance. The mucus it contains is often clear 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.

Some cervical cysts can grow very large, protruding from the surface of the cervix and even reaching the vaginal opening. The root is connected to the cervix by a pedicle and is often accompanied by cervical hypertrophy. During the examination, you can see multiple yellow-white vesicles of varying sizes protruding from the surface of the cervix. They contain mucus, some as big as rice grains and some as big as corn kernels.

Cervical cyst is a kind of chronic lesion of cervicitis. Most of them have no obvious symptoms. The main manifestation of cervicitis is increased vaginal discharge. Due to different pathogens, the color, amount, and properties of vaginal discharge are also different. Leucorrhea may be sticky and purulent, and in some cases may contain streaks of blood or a small amount of blood. In very rare cases, there may also be contact bleeding. If accompanied by pelvic inflammatory disease, lower abdominal or lumbar pain, or dysmenorrhea may occur.

1. Cervical lesions

Cervical lesions may also be accompanied by cysts, which can be identified by cervical TCT examination.

2. Cervical erosion

The term "cervical erosion" has been used for many years, but it is an incorrect term. It has long been abolished in foreign countries, and the new domestic textbooks have also abandoned this term and replaced it with "cervical columnar epithelium ectropion." Generally speaking, it is sufficient to identify cervical inflammation.

3. Endometriosis

Purple-brown nodules are found on the cervix, which are hard in texture and often accompanied by dysmenorrhea. Unlike cervical cysts, there is brown bleeding after puncture. Endometriosis glands can be seen in pathology.

4. Cervical microadenoma (cancer)

Purple-brown nodules are found on the cervix, which are hard in texture and often accompanied by thin watery leucorrhea. Pathological biopsy can show abnormalities in the glandular structure, glandular epithelial atypia greater than glandular dysplasia, and obvious cribriform hyperplasia, papillary hyperplasia, glandular distortion and other abnormalities. Sometimes, a sudden transition from normal cervical glandular epithelium to atypical glandular epithelium can be seen, which is one of the important clues for diagnosing cervical adenocarcinoma in situ.
