Are multiple cervical cysts serious?

Many women do not know much about multiple cervical cysts. Many women only find out that they have multiple cervical cysts when they go to the hospital for examination because they feel unwell. So, what are the symptoms of cervical cysts caused? What are the diseases that cause symptoms of cervical cysts? Well, next, let’s follow the editor to learn some knowledge about cervical cysts.

1. Causes of cervical cysts: The causes of cervical cysts are similar to those of acne on the face. 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 connective tissue hyperplasia or scar formation around the glandular ducts compresses the glandular ducts, causing the glandular ducts to narrow or even block, and the drainage of glandular secretions is blocked. The cyst formed by retention is called a cervical nabothian cyst.

2. 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 Nabot's cysts.

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. The small ones are only the size of millet grains, and the large ones can be as big as corn kernels. They are bluish white in color and may be accompanied by erosion, but they are also common in cervix with smooth surface.

Due to the long-term stimulation of chronic inflammation, the cervical tissue repeatedly becomes congested and edematous, inflammatory cells infiltrate and connective tissue proliferates, causing cervical hypertrophy. In severe cases, the cervix can increase by more than 1 times compared to a normal cervix. Severe inflammation can lead to menstrual abnormalities or even infertility.

3. Prevention:

1. Pay attention to hygiene at ordinary times, keep the vulva clean and prevent the invasion of pathogens.

2. Have sexual intercourse in moderation and avoid excessive sexual intercourse. Pay attention to sexual hygiene and the spouse should take care to remove the smegma on the penis.

3. Implement family planning, take contraceptive measures, and try to avoid mechanical damage to the cervix caused by multiple abortions. At the same time, gynecological surgical operations must be performed strictly aseptically to prevent iatrogenic infection and injury.

4. Avoid damaging the cervix during delivery. If cervical laceration is found, it should be sutured promptly and antibiotics should be used.

5. Sexual intercourse should be prohibited during the treatment of chronic cervicitis. Stop applying topical medication during menstruation. Avoid spicy and greasy foods during treatment.

The editor reminds everyone that in daily life, women should pay attention to hygiene during menstruation, miscarriage and postpartum period. Sexual intercourse and tub bathing should be strictly prohibited during menstruation and after delivery to avoid pathogenic bacteria from taking advantage of the opportunity to enter. Have regular gynecological examinations and provide active treatment if cervical inflammation is found. Pay attention to physical exercise, pay proper attention to nutrition and hygiene, and ensure physical and mental health.
