Patient's question:
The doctor said that cervical cysts can cause an increase in vaginal discharge, accompanied by or without odor, but I don't have any related symptoms. Why do I also have this condition? What exactly causes cervical cysts?Doctor's answer:
Generally, cervical cysts are caused by inflammation. Cervical cysts form during the healing process of cervical erosion, where new squamous epithelium covers the openings of cervical glands, blocking them. The glandular ducts may become fibrotic or scarred, inhibiting the ducts and causing them to narrow or become completely blocked. This obstruction leads to the retention of glandular secretions, forming a cyst.Treatment depends on the size of the cyst. For small cervical cysts with no symptoms, no treatment may be necessary. If the cyst is large or has ruptured and become infected, treatments such as microwave therapy, laser treatment, or surgical intervention may be used. Post-surgery, regular follow-up examinations should be conducted to prevent recurrence.
