Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. My mother-in-law recently went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said it was cervical cysts. There are many of them, and I would like to consult you about the treatment for multiple cervical cysts. Is surgery required? After surgery, how long will I need to stay in the hospital?Doctor's answer:
If the cervical cyst is a Nabothian cyst, it is caused by the blockage of cervical glandular ducts. Generally, it doesn't cause symptoms and doesn't require special treatment. If the cysts are numerous and relatively large, they can be pierced with a laser to drain the fluid, and the treatment can be done in an outpatient setting. The patient can go home immediately after the procedure, but postoperative anti-inflammatory treatment is necessary.If the patient has other cervical diseases or needs cervical repair surgery, inpatient treatment is required. The recovery period is typically one to three months, and the hospital stay lasts three to five days.
Cervical cysts can be a serious condition, and it is recommended that patients seek timely treatment. It is hoped that patients can follow their doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment.
