What to do if you have cervical cysts? Treatment principles for cervical cysts

Cervical cysts are also a type of chronic cervicitis. Generally, smaller cervical cysts do not require treatment, but larger ones can be treated with physical therapy, such as laser and phototherapy. Severe cervical cysts can also lead to irregular menstruation, cervical malignancy, etc.

1. What to do if you have cervical cysts

1. Scattered, smaller cervical cysts generally do not require treatment, and annual checks are sufficient.

2. For densely packed smaller Nabothian cysts or relatively large cysts, physical treatments such as phototherapy, laser, microwave, and self-coagulation knife can be considered.

3. For larger tumors that protrude from the surface of the cervix, electrosurgical excision can be considered.

2. Symptoms

1: The patient's uterine fundus or posterior wall is bulging, and there is a local cystic feeling. It can be divided into three types: subserosal, intramural and submucosal. If it is a pedunculated submucosal cyst, it can sometimes protrude outside the cervical os. Pathological examination shows that the cyst wall derived from the mesonephric duct is mostly composed of columnar or stratified squamous epithelium, and the cyst wall derived from the paramesonephric duct is mostly formed by ciliated columnar epithelium.

2: The symptoms of congenital cervical Nabothian cyst are mostly not obvious. Sometimes a lump can be felt in the lower abdomen. The cervical glands have secretory functions and can secrete mucus. They can also be discharged through the glandular duct openings, participating in the formation of some "leucorrhea". During the healing process of cervical erosion, if the new squamous epithelium covers the cervical glandular duct openings or extends into the glandular ducts, it will cause blockage of the glandular duct openings.
