Patient's question:
A 29-year-old female has recently felt some discomfort in her body, but she doesn't know what's wrong. Please ask: What is a cervical cyst?Doctor's answer:
Sometimes when a doctor performs a TCT, they may inform you that you have encountered a cervical nabothian cyst. Others may discover this during an ultrasound when the doctor says there are easily formed cysts in the cervix. Patients often feel upset upon hearing this, thinking, "What is this? I have cysts." In reality, these cervical cysts are caused by the blockage of cervical secretions. The cervix produces its own secretions, which form a cervical plug. This plug separates the vagina from the uterus, helping to prevent reinfection. On the day of menopause, there is often a significant amount of leukorrhea (white discharge) in the vagina, and at that time, the vaginal plug opens rapidly.
