What is cervical nuchal translucency?

Cervical nuchal translucency, also known as cervical nuchal cyst and cervical glandular cyst, is a manifestation of chronic inflammation of the cervix. The formation of nacreous cysts is similar to that of pimples on the face, so much can be done without too much worry. Cervical nanocysts are very common and usually have no clinical symptoms. A vaginal ultrasound is the most direct way to diagnose them. Cysts are formed when new squamous epithelium covers the mouth of the cervical ducts or extends into the ducts during the healing process of cervical erosion, blocking the mouth of the ducts; the connective tissue around the ducts grows or scars form to compress the ducts, narrowing or even blocking them, blocking the drainage of glandular secretions and forming cysts called cervical retention cysts. Cysts are usually small and scattered, protruding from the surface of the uterine cervix. Small ones are as large as a small grain of rice, while large ones can be as large as a grain of corn and are greenish-white in color and may be accompanied by erosion, but they are also common in cervixes with a smooth surface. In addition, cervical cysts can also cause pelvic inflammatory disease and adnexitis, and when the inflammatory disease is not controlled in time, it can cause irregular menstruation and prolonged inflammatory stimulation can make the cervix hypertrophy. Therefore, when cervical cysts are asymptomatic, regular observation and TCT examination can be performed; when combined with inflammation, anti-infection treatment can be given; physical treatment, such as microwave, laser, freezing, etc., can also be taken. Therefore, cervical cysts are usually asymptomatic and develop very slowly, so they can be observed and not treated. For women with severe cervicitis, cervicitis can be actively treated or physiotherapy can be used.
