Are multiple uterine cysts serious?

Multiple uterine cysts are a relatively serious gynecological disease. This type of cyst also refers to cervical cysts, which is a common manifestation of chronic cervicitis. After women become ill, they often experience some symptoms, such as increased secretions, and the secretions are purulent, sometimes causing vulvar itching, a burning sensation when urinating, and easy bleeding during sexual intercourse.

Causes

Cervical cyst is a pathological manifestation of chronic cervicitis. During the healing process of cervical erosion, the newly formed squamous epithelium covers the openings of the cervical glandular ducts or extends into the glandular ducts, blocking the openings of the glandular ducts. The hyperplasia of connective tissue or scar formation around the glandular duct compresses the glandular duct, causing it to narrow or even block it. The drainage of glandular secretions is obstructed and retained, forming a cyst called a cervical nabothian cyst. The cysts vary in size, but are generally small and scattered.

It can appear alone or in multiples. In chronic cervicitis, the cervical glands and surrounding tissues proliferate. When the gland duct is squeezed by the surrounding tissue and the gland opening is blocked, the secretions in the gland cannot flow out and are retained inside, causing the gland cavity to expand and form cystic tumors of varying sizes, called "cervical gland retention cysts", also known as Nabot cysts.

Clinical manifestations

Cervical cyst is a type of chronic cervicitis, which generally has no obvious symptoms. The main symptom of chronic cervicitis is increased vaginal discharge. Due to different pathogens, the color and amount of vaginal discharge are also different. Leucorrhea may be mucous or purulent, sometimes with streaks of blood or a small amount of blood, and may also cause contact bleeding. Pain often occurs in the lower abdomen or lumbosacral area, and pelvic pain or dysmenorrhea may occur, which is often aggravated during menstruation, bowel movements or sexual intercourse. In addition, irregular menstruation and infertility may occur.

treat

The main thing is to have a cervical smear test every year to rule out cervical cancer and precancerous diseases.

1. Scattered, smaller cervical cysts generally do not require treatment, and annual checks are sufficient.

2. For densely packed smaller Nabothian cysts or relatively large cysts, phototherapy, laser, microwave, and other physical treatments may be considered.

prevention

1. Pay attention to hygiene at ordinary times, keep the vulva clean and prevent the invasion of pathogens.

2. Avoid damaging the cervix during delivery. If cervical laceration is found, it should be sutured promptly and antibiotics should be used.

3. Implement family planning, take contraceptive measures, and try to avoid mechanical damage to the cervix caused by multiple abortions. At the same time, gynecological surgical operations must be performed strictly aseptically to prevent iatrogenic infection and injury.

4. Pay attention to hygiene during menstruation, miscarriage and postpartum period. Sexual intercourse and bathing in a tub should be strictly prohibited during menstruation and after delivery to prevent pathogenic bacteria from taking advantage of the opportunity to enter.

5. Pay attention to physical exercise, pay proper attention to nutrition and hygiene, and ensure physical and mental health.

6. Have regular gynecological examinations and actively treat cervical inflammation if found.

7. Have sexual intercourse in moderation and avoid excessive sexual intercourse. Pay attention to sexual hygiene and the spouse should take care to remove the smegma on the penis.

8. Sexual intercourse should be prohibited during the treatment of chronic cervicitis. Stop applying topical medication during menstruation.
