What is a cyst

  A cyst is a benign disease with a cystic structure with a cystic wall outside and fluid or other components inside, and can occur anywhere in the body. Cysts that occur in the external or internal female genitalia are called gynecologic cysts and include mainly vestibular macrocysts, ovarian cysts, and cervical cysts.  Ovarian cysts are cysts that occur on the ovaries, and there are two types of cysts, physiological and pathological. Physiological are usually luteal cysts, follicular cysts, etc. Pathological cysts are mostly abnormal growths that occur on the ovaries, such as chocolate cysts, which are a manifestation of endometriosis, and ovarian plasmacytoma, mucinous cysts, tubal tract cysts, ovarian teratomas, etc. Cervical cysts are caused by enlarged glands and are also known as cervical nuchal cysts. During the process of healing and recovery from trauma to the cervix and inflammation of the cervix, the new squamous epithelium may overgrow, resulting in blockage of the glandular opening and failure of the glandular secretions to drain out smoothly, resulting in enlargement of the glands to form cysts called cervical cysts. A vestibular gland cyst is a type of cyst in which the vulva becomes inflamed.  Whether it is an ovarian cyst, a vestibular gland cyst or a cervical cyst, as long as it is pathological, it should be taken seriously and treated actively.
