How do multiple cervical cysts form?

Multiple cervical cysts are usually caused by blocked cervical glands, chronic cervical inflammation, changes in hormone levels, childbirth injuries and surgical procedures.

1. Cervical gland blockage

Cysts may form when the cervical glands' ability to secrete mucus is blocked. The openings of the cervical glands are covered by squamous epithelium or blocked by thick secretions, resulting in the inability to drain fluid from the glands. Factors such as holding in urine for a long time and poor hygiene habits may cause blockage. You should keep your perineum clean every day and avoid sitting for long periods of time or wearing tight pants.

2. Chronic cervical inflammation

Chronic cervicitis is a common cause, which may be related to factors such as bacterial vaginosis and chlamydial infection. It is often accompanied by symptoms such as increased leucorrhea and bleeding in the same room. Treatment requires the use of Baofukang suppository, Xiaomi suppository and other drugs as directed by the doctor, and if necessary, laser treatment to eliminate inflammatory lesions.

3. Changes in hormone levels

Increased estrogen levels during pregnancy or oral contraceptive use may stimulate increased secretion of cervical glands. Most of the cysts formed in this situation are physiological and may disappear on their own after delivery or after stopping medication. Regular gynecological exams can monitor changes in cysts.

4. Childbirth injuries

During the healing process of cervical lacerations caused by natural childbirth, new tissue may block the gland openings. This kind of cyst is usually located outside the cervical opening and generally does not require special treatment. The doctor will evaluate the recovery during the 42-day postpartum review.

5. Surgical operation

Scar contracture after cervical conization, leoplasty, and other surgeries may compress the glands. When a cyst is found during reexamination 3-6 months after surgery, no intervention is required if there are no symptoms. When accompanied by contact bleeding or abnormal secretions, the possibility of recurrence needs to be ruled out.

It is recommended to have a gynecological examination every year. If you find that the cyst is enlarged or accompanied by abnormal bleeding, you need to seek medical treatment promptly. Avoid using irritating vaginal washes every day and choose cotton breathable underwear. Appropriate dietary supplementation of vitamin E and zinc can help maintain the health of the cervical mucosa. Regular work and rest and moderate exercise can help regulate endocrine status.
