A young girl with a sad face came to the clinic the other day. During her gynecological checkup, she found multiple nuchal cysts on her cervix. Due to her lack of knowledge about this disease, she thought she had cancer in her cervix and was worried about it. That’s how diseases are, and it’s easy to be afraid of them if you don’t know enough about them. So, is it really serious to have cervical nuchal translucency? Cervical nuchal translucency, also known as nuchal cyst, is a manifestation of chronic inflammation, like cervical polyps and hypertrophy, and it is common in our women’s bodies. When a woman with nuchal translucency has a gynecological examination, she will see several prominent, greenish-white vesicles (not purple) of various sizes, containing mucus and varying in size on the surface of the cervix. Some can grow so large that they protrude from the surface of the cervix and even reach the vaginal opening. The roots are connected to the cervix by a tip and often combined with cervical hypertrophy. The reason for this is that during the healing process of cervical columnar epithelial ectasia, the new squamous epithelium will cover the opening of the cervical glandular ducts, and sometimes it will reach into the cervical glandular ducts and block the opening, resulting in the formation of connective tissue on all sides of the glandular ducts or scar formation to compress the glandular ducts and make them narrower, and the drainage of glandular secretions will be obstructed and the cysts will be formed. In layman’s terms, the principle is similar to the formation of acne on the face, which is caused by obstruction of the glandular ducts. The number and size of cervical cysts vary depending on the severity of the inflammation and the healing process of the patient. Some are seen as just one or two prominent cysts on the surface of the cervix, others are densely packed with multiple ones, and still others can only be detected during a cathodic ultrasound examination. In general, scattered, relatively small cervical cysts are usually asymptomatic, but for larger cysts, or nasal cysts that already have symptoms and begin to gradually increase in size, there are the following hazards if not treated: 1, affects the life of the couple Many women have itching and burning sensations in the vagina from time to time after the appearance of cervical cysts, which may also lead to vaginal bleeding during sex, making women fearful of intercourse and seriously affecting the couple’s This can cause fear of intercourse and seriously affect the relationship between husband and wife. Most women with cervical cysts have increased leucorrhea, and the inflammatory cells in these secretions will engulf sperm, which will greatly reduce the number of sperm and prevent eggs from combining with sperm normally, thus leading to infertility; in addition, the spread of pathogenic bacteria may affect the fallopian tubes and ovaries, resulting in blockage of the fallopian tubes, which will have a greater impact on women’s pregnancy. Most women’s cervical cysts are caused by the infection of the cervix with pathogenic bacteria, usually combined with other chronic cervicitis, resulting in an enlarged cervix, which can be more than 1 times larger than the normal cervix in severe cases. At the same time, the pathogenic bacteria may also travel to the pelvic cavity and cause pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexitis and other diseases in women. 4, affect the development of the fetus After pregnancy, if you find a cervical cyst infection, you should pay extra attention to it, because the pathogenic bacteria of the cervical cyst may pass through the uterus and enter the uterus to adversely affect the development of the fetus, and there may be a risk of miscarriage and premature birth. Therefore, when cervical cysts are found, do not take it lightly and need to pay more attention in daily life: 1, pay attention to personal hygiene: change underwear frequently, do one person a basin, wash vulva with warm water every day to prevent pathogenic bacteria from attacking; pay special attention to hygiene during menstruation, avoid sexual intercourse during menstruation to avoid causing gynecological diseases; 2, control intercourse: intercourse in moderation, avoid overexertion; pay attention to sexual hygiene of couples, wash before intercourse 3, cautious abortion: try to control the number of abortions, good contraceptive precautions, avoid repeated cervical interventions to cause injury. If you have to, choose a regular hospital to prevent cross-infection caused by the lack of good aseptic work; in terms of treatment, for scattered relatively small cervical glandular cysts generally do not need treatment, as long as the annual regular examination can be; for intensive multiple or relatively large cysts, can consider needle discharge, phototherapy, laser, microwave, self-coagulation knife and other physical therapy; the above treatment methods are not too painful, but also basically It will not affect the daily work and life.
