Patient's question:
Can cervical cysts be treated with electrocautery?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Cervical gland cyst, also known as Nabothian cyst, is a manifestation of chronic cervical inflammation. Its formation is due to the healing process of cervical erosion, where newly formed squamous epithelium covers the cervical gland orifice or extends into the gland, obstructing the orifice. The surrounding connective tissue of the gland may proliferate or form scars, compressing the gland and narrowing or even blocking it. When the drainage of glandular secretions is obstructed, a cyst called a Nabothian cyst is formed. Under long-term inflammatory stimulation, a small number of patients with chronic cervical inflammation have a tendency to malignancy, so close attention is required. For dense, smaller Nabothian cysts or larger cysts, physical treatments such as phototherapy, laser, microwave, or cryosurgery can be considered. For larger cysts that protrude from the surface of the cervix, electrocautery excision can be considered. These treatment methods are relatively painless and generally do not affect daily work and life. It is recommended that you go to a regular hospital gynecology department and follow the doctor's instructions.
