What to do if you have a cervical cyst

Cervical cysts usually do not require special treatment and only require regular annual cervical cancer screening. Cervical cysts, also known as cervical glandular cysts, are in most cases physiological changes of the cervix. In the process of replacing the columnar epithelium with squamous epithelium in the cervical transition zone, the new squamous epithelium covers the mouth of the cervical glandular ducts or penetrates deep into the glandular ducts, blocking the mouth of the glandular ducts, resulting in obstruction of the drainage of glandular secretions, which are retained and form cysts. Local injury to the cervix or chronic inflammation of the cervix that narrows the opening of the glandular ducts can also lead to the formation of cervical glandular cysts, which are easily diagnosed because the examination of superficial cervical glandular cysts reveals single or multiple small greenish-white vesicles protruding from their surface. Deep cervical glandular cysts, which have a smooth and non-abnormal surface of the cervix, show hypertrophy of the cervix, which should be differentiated from adenocarcinoma of the cervix. For cervical cysts, only regular annual cervical cancer screening is needed. If the cervical cancer screening is fine, then cervical glandular cysts do not need to be treated.
