Nabotovy cysts of the cervix - what is it?
The cervix has a narrow bottleneck configuration facing the vagina. Its lumen is so narrow that the walls of the neck close together. This anatomical structure protects the uterine cavity from infection from the outside. In the epithelium of the neck there are mucous glands, the secret of which fills the whole lumen, providing additional protection of the genital organ.
The neck in Latin is called "cervix," and the inner glands, respectively, are "endocervical."This unquestionable name is usually replaced by another, by the name of the doctor who first described them - the pioneers.
Sometimes the outlets of the cervix are clogged and the mucus accumulates in the cavity, giving them the appearance of rounded vesicles from 0.5 mm to 2 cm in size. There are retentional ponate cysts. It is more correct to talk about the cyst of the prostate gland.
Blockage of ducts of nodular glands occurs due to inflammatory processes in the genital area. The causes of inflammation are divided into several groups:
- Cervix injury in childbirth, abortion, instrumental research or installation of intrauterine spirals;
- Poor hygiene of the genitals;
- Infringement of a microflora of a vagina and shejki because of frequent change of sexual partners;
- Hormonal problems associated with the menstrual cycle.
It is also assumed that cysts can be congenital.
Symptoms of cervical cysts
There are no specific signs in the presence of retention formations on the cervix. They are detected during routine examination, less often - with complaints of menstrual irregularity, soreness and a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen or the inability to become pregnant.
- But it is not proven that it is the small cysts that are responsible for these conditions.
Visually, the physician discovers, using a gynecological mirror, one or more roundish yellowish elements around the opening of the cervix and informs the patient about it.
Quite small cysts are diagnosed under a microscope with a biopsy.
Differential diagnosis is performed with oncological cervical cysts, which develop as secondary elements in the tumor process. It should be noted that true pseudo-cysts never degenerate into cancerous cysts.
In the initial detection, for the establishment of nature, several diagnostic procedures are required:
- Cervical examination of a high-precision optical device with a colposcope;
- Take a smear to determine the microflora of the vagina and cervix;
- Cytological smear for the detection of cancer cells;
- Blood test for the determination of antibodies for urogenital pathogenic flora;
- ultrasound of the small pelvis.
If, as a result of the performed diagnostics, there is a conclusion about the presence of small single-site cysts of the cervix, there is no special reason for excitement. Only with large sizes of formations can there be undesirable consequences.
Possible negative effects of
When the cysts reach a few centimeters in size, they can clog the lumen of the cervix, while:
- prevent the outflow of menstrual blood, causing painful sensations in menstruation;
- prevent the upward movement of sperm, making pregnancy impossible.
There is a version that several cysts in the lumen of the cervix are able, on the contrary, to expand it - creating conditions for premature birth or miscarriage.
Opening during labor, cysts can cause infection of small wounds on the mucous membrane of cervix.
In the case of purulent infiltration of the retention cyst, it can support chronic inflammatory processes, creating the prerequisites for ectopic pregnancy and infertility.
However, there are no confirmations to these assumptions, although in the presence of such problems it is necessary to take into account all possible factors of pathology development.
Treatment of nasal cysts of the cervix
In case of accidental detection of small single punctate cysts, the physician informs the patient and recommends regular observations twice a year.
With multiple small formations, the treatment of the cervical cysts of the cervix is most often done by hormonal means prescribed by a gynecologist-endocrinologist.
Many doctors treat cysts as a normal phenomenon.
But if a large nodule cervix of the cervix is identified, should it be removed? Even in this case, it does not pose a threat to the woman's body.
With a marked increase in size, the doctor can offer removal in several safe ways:
- Surgical method - consists of piercing and emptying the cyst from mucous contents, cauterizing its bottom with a coagulant or chemical preparations( alcohol);
- Diathermocoagulation cyst;
- Cryodestruction - treatment with liquid nitrogen;
- Galvanoacoustics;
- Radio wave therapy;
- Laser scalpel removal.
All of them are conducted on an outpatient basis. I must say straight out - the difference in cost between the surgical and the four latest ultramodern methods will be palpable, and the effect is absolutely the same.
The first 2 weeks of menocycles are considered the optimal cyst removal period. If the intervention is carried out after childbirth, then it is better to wait for the complete disappearance of lochia - secretions of the saccharum.
A week after the removal procedure, antibacterial, healing and anesthetizing suppositories are prescribed for a few days, for a month, sex life and visiting the sauna, sauna, long stay in the hot tub are not recommended.
After the medical supervision, all restrictions are removed.
Summary conclusion
Nabotovy cysts are found, according to different sources, in 10-20% of women, without causing any deviations in health.
They do not dictate the limitations of physical activity, a woman can safely visit the pool, sauna and sauna, go to the sea and sunbathe, play sports and not limit sex life.
Nabotov cervical cysts require treatment only at large sizes or with suspicion of participation in pathological processes in the genital area.
There are no cure for cervical cysts with folk remedies. Any douches with infusions of anti-inflammatory herbs or soda are not harmful, but they do not lead to release from the problem. To maintain the woman's health, regular visits to the gynecologist and additional monitoring with ultrasound are required.
