Doctor's answer:
Uterine cysts are the most common benign tumor of the female reproductive system, often asymptomatic, with a few cases presenting with vaginal bleeding, palpable abdominal masses, and compression symptoms. The exact cause of this condition is unclear. Modern Western medicine employs hormone therapy or surgical treatment, with no other ideal therapies available.The causes of uterine cysts: The formation process is similar to facial "acne," occurring during the healing of cervical erosion. New squamous epithelium covers the openings of cervical glands or extends into them, obstructing the glandular openings. Proliferation of connective tissue around the glands or the formation of scars compresses the glands, narrowing or blocking them. When glandular secretion drainage is obstructed, the retained fluid forms a cyst, known as Nabothian cyst.
