Cyst of the Cervix
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Cyst of the cervix, also known as a cervical cyst or nabothian cyst, is a benign formation that develops on the surface of the cervix as a result of glandular blockage. These cysts are usually asymptomatic and are discovered accidentally during gynecological examinations. However, in some cases, multiple or large cysts may cause discomfort, pain, or discharge. The main causes include chronic cervicitis, hormonal imbalance, trauma during childbirth, and post-inflammatory processes. Diagnosis is primarily based on visual inspection, ultrasound, and colposcopic evaluation. Treatment is rarely required, but large cysts may need surgical removal. Awareness of cervical cysts is important for distinguishing them from malignant lesions and preventing unnecessary anxiety in patients.
