Patient's question:
I have developed a Nabothian cyst, candidal vulvovaginitis, and adhesions between the left vagina and the cervical wall. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
This is the appearance of Nabothian cysts, also known as cervical gland retention cysts. Their formation occurs when cervical erosion is treated or heals spontaneously. The squamous epithelium on the surface of the cervix continues to grow, covering the cervix surface or extending into the cervical glandular ducts. This blocks the openings of the ducts, preventing secretions from flowing out and causing them to accumulate inside, forming small cysts of varying sizes, which are then called Nabothian cysts.If the cysts are small and do not affect the body in any way, treatment is not necessary. For larger cysts that protrude significantly, the fluid can be drained. The method involves using a sterilized surgical blade tip to incise the cyst wall, allowing the mucus to flow out. A cotton ball is then used to clean the mucus. The wound edges do not need to be sutured, but the incision must be large enough to prevent rapid closure of the edges and reaccumulation of mucus.
