Causes of extrauterine cysts

Cyst is a disease that many people are familiar with. Cysts can cause great harm to the patient's body. After suffering from this type of disease, timely treatment is required. Otherwise, once the cystic disease develops, the treatment will be very complicated. So what are the causes of extrauterine cysts? Before treating extrauterine cysts, it is necessary to understand its causes so that the correct treatment method can be chosen during treatment.

Causes of extrauterine cysts:

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.

After understanding the cause of extrauterine cysts, patients should actively cooperate when treating them. If the patient's condition is serious, hospitalization is also required. This will achieve very good treatment results. At the same time, when treating extrauterine cysts, patients should also pay attention to their diet and reduce the choice of greasy and spicy foods.
