Is uterine cyst serious? What are the dangers?

Uterine cyst is a relatively common disease. It is a common benign tumor and generally does not have many symptoms. If the uterine cyst gradually expands, it will cause great harm to the uterus. If the condition does not worsen, you can take medication for treatment, but if the condition is serious, you need timely treatment.

Uterine cysts are a type of ovarian tumor in a broad sense. They can occur in people of all ages, but are most common in those aged 20-50 years. Ovarian malignant tumors are difficult to diagnose early because they rarely occur during the disease stage. 70% of them are in the late stage when they seek medical treatment, and they rarely receive early treatment. The 5-year survival rate has always hovered around 20-30%, making it one of the most serious malignant tumors that threaten women's lives. The ovaries are relatively small organs in the human body, but they are a common site for a variety of tumors. Ovarian tumors can have various properties and forms - single or mixed, unilateral or bilateral, cystic or solid, benign or malignant, and many ovarian tumors can produce female or male sex hormones.

Uterine cyst is a rare gynecological disease, which is easily overlooked in clinical practice. Uterine cysts have many symptoms, and patients may also have cervical hypertrophy. The causes of uterine cysts are complicated, and patients need to understand the causes of uterine cysts before they can receive symptomatic treatment.

Uterine cysts can be divided into congenital and acquired uterine cysts. The former originate from the mesonephric duct and the paramesonephric duct, and mostly occur in the posterior wall or fundus of the uterus; the latter are mostly secondary to benign diseases or develop from the interstitial cells of the serosa, including cystic degeneration of uterine fibroids, cystic adenomyoma, cervical retention cysts and uterine serosa cysts.

Causes of uterine cysts: The cause of its formation is similar to that of "acne" on the face. During the healing process of cervical erosion, the new squamous epithelium covers the opening of the cervical gland duct or extends into the gland duct, blocking the opening of the gland duct; the connective tissue around the gland duct proliferates or scars form, compressing the gland duct, causing the gland duct to narrow or even block, and the drainage of glandular secretions is blocked. The cyst formed by retention is called cervical nabothian cyst.
