Cysts on the cervix

Cysts on the cervix, also called cervical glandular cysts, include both physiological and pathological changes in their formation, and the need for treatment needs to be determined according to the specific cause and severity of symptoms. Under normal circumstances, cervical squamous epithelium and columnar epithelium can be transformed into each other, and the new squamous epithelium covers the mouth of the cervical glandular ducts or extends into the glandular ducts, blocking the mouth of the glandular ducts and causing the drainage of glandular secretions to be obstructed and retained to form cysts, which may not need treatment if the cysts are small or have no other symptoms. In a few cases, local injury to the cervix or chronic inflammation can also cause narrowing of the glandular duct opening, which can be manifested as increased vaginal discharge or vaginal bleeding, and should be diagnosed as cervical glandular cyst by ultrasonography and pathological examination. For the treatment of small superficial cysts, physical therapy such as freezing, laser, infrared, LEEP knife, etc. can be used as prescribed by the doctor. For huge cervical glandular cysts or those with obvious self-perceived symptoms, surgical treatment, such as cervical glandular cyst stoma and hysteroscopic electrodesiccation, can be used. Chinese medicine treatment, such as fire acupuncture, can also be chosen to act directly on cervical glandular cysts to destroy the proliferating connective tissue and promote the remission of inflammation. If cervical cancer is suspected, the diagnosis should be confirmed by TCT and HPV examination first, and surgical treatment, chemotherapy and radiotherapy can be chosen. For cervical cysts caused by chronic cervicitis and local cervical injury, certain preventive measures can be taken. For example, avoid sexual intercourse during menstruation, try to use condoms to prevent infection, do not use a lot of washing solution to douche the vagina for a long time, avoid chemical substances to stimulate the cervix, and treat cervicitis promptly and thoroughly to prevent aggravation of the disease.
