Uterine cysts are supposed to be a misnomer for cervical cysts. The uterus itself hardly grows cysts, and in rare cases uterine fibroids may become cystic. What we usually call uterine cysts generally refers to cervical cysts, also called cervical nuchal cysts, or nuchal cysts for short, which are caused by chronic inflammation of the cervix. Women are prone to cervical cysts due to their special physiological structure and many other factors such as having babies. The symptoms of cervical cysts are not specific. Patients with cervical cysts may have increased leucorrhea, and when combined with pelvic inflammatory disease and vaginitis, they may have lower abdominal pain, purulent or bloody leucorrhea, prolonged menstruation, infertility and a series of other symptoms. When cervical cysts alone can have no symptoms and no special treatment is needed, but when combined with inflammation, treatment is necessary. If left untreated then cervical inflammation will also become more serious, resulting in purulent leucorrhea and a variety of symptoms such as tenderness, fragile texture, easy bleeding on contact, and congestion and edema of the mucous membrane at the urethra and vaginal opening. If these symptoms are not treated in time, they can affect the sperm’s access to the uterine cavity and the egg’s union, which can lead to infertility. The severity of the symptoms of cervical cysts varies, as does the impact on women’s health, so they should be managed and treated appropriately.
