What does it mean when a woman has cervical cysts?

Cervical glandular cyst is a disease similar to cervical erosion. In medicine, it has a professional name called cervical nabothian cyst. Like cervical cyst, it is a manifestation of chronic cervicitis. Nowadays, more and more women are suffering from this disease, which is extremely harmful to the body and extremely uncomfortable.

Due to the long-term stimulation of chronic inflammation, the cervical tissue repeatedly becomes congested and edematous, inflammatory cells infiltrate and connective tissue proliferates, resulting in cervical hypertrophy. In severe cases, the cervix can increase by more than 1 times compared to a normal cervix. After the inflammation heals, congestion and edema are reduced or subsided. Due to fibrosis, although the cervix is ​​completely covered with squamous epithelium and has a smooth surface, it still maintains its enlarged volume; the cervical glandular cyst also still maintains its protruding cystic shape.

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 "retention cysts of the cervical glands", also known as Nabothian 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. There are clear white vesicular protrusions of varying sizes on the surface of the cervix, some as small as rice grains and some as large as more than 1 cm in diameter.
