Patient's question:
All symptoms: General weakness, lack of energy, insomnia with frequent dreams, abdominal bloating before menstruation, breast pain, small menstrual flow, dark red with egg white-like threads.Onset time and cause: Half a year.
Treatment history: Had an ultrasound examination at Zhongshan People's Hospital, which showed cervical Nabothian cysts. The doctor prescribed a box of Guizhi Fuling capsules and said to take them and then recheck.
Desired help: I want to know how the condition developed, whether other tests are needed, whether to continue taking the medication, what tests can confirm that the condition is completely cured, and how to prevent it in the future. Thank you for your prompt response.
Doctor's answer:
Nasal cysts are a manifestation of chronic cervical inflammation. The formation reason is that during the healing process of cervical erosion, newly formed squamous epithelium covers the openings of cervical glands or extends into them, blocking the gland openings. Hyperplasia of connective tissue around the glands or scar formation may compress the glands, narrowing or even blocking them. The obstruction of glandular secretion drainage leads to retention, forming cysts. The cysts themselves have no significant impact on health, but chronic inflammation stimulation of the cervix increases the risk of malignant tumors such as cervical cancer. Due to the presence of a capsule, simple drug treatment is often ineffective, and physical therapy should be considered. For dense, smaller Nabothian cysts or larger cysts, phototherapy, laser, microwave, or cryosurgery may be considered. For larger cysts protruding from the surface of the cervix, electrocautery excision may be used. All the above treatments are relatively painless and have little impact on daily work and life. After healing, it is important to treat chronic inflammation of the cervix to prevent recurrence.
