How to check uterine cyst?

Uterine cyst is a relatively common gynecological disease. Although it has some unique characteristics and clinical manifestations, it usually needs some effective examination methods to diagnose. Judging the size of the cyst is very beneficial for the treatment of the disease. Let us learn about the methods that female friends can use to check uterine cysts.

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.

examine

Cervical cysts vary in size, but are generally small and scattered. It can appear alone or in multiples. It can occur in any part of the cervix. Because during gynecological examinations, a speculum can only detect cysts located at the external os of the cervix.

B-ultrasound examination: B-ultrasound can show cysts in various parts of the cervix, and its cyst detection rate can be as high as 100%. Therefore, B-ultrasound examination improves the clinical diagnosis rate and also provides convenience for clinical treatment.

Once a uterine cyst is discovered, it is best to choose a safer and more effective treatment method based on the size of the cyst and current physical condition to minimize damage to the female body. If it is delayed for a long time, it may cause female infertility and may also induce some other gynecological diseases.
