What causes uterine cysts?

In fact, there are many reasons that may cause uterine cysts in women. It is a benign tumor that can cause a lot of harm to the health of women. If it is delayed for a long time or not treated effectively, it may cause female infertility. Let us learn about the more common causes of uterine cysts in women.

Causes

Cervical cyst is a pathological manifestation of chronic cervicitis. 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 hyperplasia of connective tissue or scar formation around the glandular duct compresses the glandular duct, causing it to narrow or even block it. The drainage of glandular secretions is obstructed and retained, forming a cyst called a cervical nabothian cyst. The cysts vary in size, but are generally small and scattered. It can appear alone or in multiples. 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 "cervical gland retention cysts", also known as Nabot cysts.

Clinical manifestations

Cervical cyst is a type of chronic cervicitis, which generally has no obvious symptoms. The main symptom of chronic cervicitis is increased vaginal discharge. Due to different pathogens, the color and amount of vaginal discharge are also different. Leucorrhea may be mucous or purulent, sometimes with streaks of blood or a small amount of blood, and may also cause contact bleeding. Pain often occurs in the lower abdomen or lumbosacral area, and pelvic pain or dysmenorrhea may occur, which is often aggravated during menstruation, bowel movements or sexual intercourse. In addition, irregular menstruation and infertility may occur.

When a female friend finds that she has a uterine cyst, she should go to the hospital for a formal examination as soon as possible, and then choose some medicines for treatment under the guidance of a doctor. She should also pay attention to her diet, especially spicy, irritating, and cold foods. It is best not to eat them. She should also pay attention to adequate rest.
