What are cervical glandular cysts?

  Cervical cysts, also known as cervical nuchal cysts, are a cervical disease caused mainly by chronic cervicitis due to long-term inflammatory stimulation. It usually occurs during the healing process of cervicitis when secretions in the cervical glands are blocked by overgrowth of new squamous epithelium to form cystic masses in the cervical glands. They are usually small and scattered, protruding from the surface of the cervix, with yellowish-white fluid trapped in the glands forming cysts of varying sizes. Externally, cervical glandular cysts are small blisters located on the surface of the cervix, mainly due to the blockage of the cervical glandular ducts by hyperplastic tissue during the healing process of cervical erosion, which causes the retention of cervical secretions to form some cystic blisters.  After cervical glandular cysts are produced, most women do not feel anything special, but a small number of women may experience a series of clinical symptoms such as increased leucorrhea, lumbar and sacral pain, and abdominal distension. For cervical glandular cysts less than 0.5 cm, no special treatment is actually needed and regular follow-up observation is sufficient. However, if the cervical glandular cysts are larger in size and may cause local lesions, and the volume is above 0.5 cm, physical therapy or surgery is generally recommended to remove them. Physical therapy includes radiofrequency ablation therapy, ion intervention therapy, red light therapy, etc., while surgical therapy is the direct removal of the cysts by the doctor through instruments. In addition to the treatment of cysts, the chronic cervicitis should be completely cured so that the cervical glandular cysts can be completely cured and will not recur.  Women should develop good habits in daily life, do not engage in high-risk sexual behavior, and do not have multiple abortions or induced abortions, and try not to cause harm to the cervix.
