Cervical cyst

Introduction Cervical cyst is a kind of chronic cervicitis. It is a common gynecological disease. Women with cervical cysts mainly have increased vaginal discharge, which is mucopurulent. The stimulation of vaginal discharge can cause genital itching and burning sensation. Symptoms such as inter-menstrual bleeding and bleeding after a couple's life may also occur. Patients with cervical cysts should pay attention to exercise, properly strengthen nutrition and health, and ensure physical and mental health. The acute phase of cervicitis should be controlled and thoroughly treated to prevent the transition to chronic cervicitis.

Cause

The cause of cervical cyst formation: it is formed in a similar way to the "acne" on the face. During the healing process of cervical erosion, the new squamous epithelium covers the cervical gland or extends into the gland, blocking the glandular orifice; Peripheral connective tissue hyperplasia or scar formation compresses the gland tube, narrowing or even blocking the gland tube, and the drainage of glandular secretions is blocked. The cyst formed by the retention is called the Neck sac.

In chronic cervicitis, the uterine gland and surrounding tissues proliferate. When the gland tube is squeezed by the surrounding tissue, the glandular orifice is blocked, so that the secretions in the gland can not be drained and remain inside, causing the glandular cavity to expand, forming a cystic mass of varying sizes, called "cervical gland retention". Cysts, also known as Nabetter cysts. It contains mucus that is often clear and transparent, but may be cloudy and purulent due to co-infection. Cysts are generally small and scattered and can protrude from the surface of the cervix. Small only small millet grains, large to large corn kernels, blue-white, may be accompanied by erosion, but also common in the smooth surface of the cervix. Due to the long-term stimulation of chronic inflammation, cervical tissue recurrence of congestion, edema, inflammatory cell infiltration and connective tissue hyperplasia, resulting in hypertrophy of the cervix, severe cases can more than double the normal cervix. Serious inflammation can lead to abnormal menstruation or even infertility.

Cervical Surgical (TCT) Cervical Examination Gynecological routine examination

The diagnosis of cervical cysts mainly includes cervical smear examination, colposcopy, B-ultrasound examination, TCT examination, HPV-DNA detection and other methods.

1. Cervical smear examination: Under the stimulation of long-term inflammation, a small number of patients with chronic cervicitis have a tendency to malignant, so patients with cervical cysts should have a cervical smear every year.

2. Colposcopy: This method of cervical cyst diagnosis is intuitive and obvious. It can directly find the affected part, diagnose whether there is abnormal lesion, and determine the severity of the lesion as the basis for treatment.

3. B-ultrasound examination: B-ultrasound examination is a very common diagnosis of cervical cysts. Cervical cysts are common diseases in gynecological ultrasound diagnosis.

4. TCT examination: This cervical cyst diagnosis is an internationally advanced grading cytology technique for cervical lesions. Compared with the traditional Pakistani staining test, the specimen satisfaction rate and cervical abnormal cell detection rate can reach over 95%. .

5. HPV-DNA detection: HPV infection is an essential factor in the pathogenesis of cervical cancer. Colposcopy can see the surface lesions, but it is often a more advanced lesion. Therefore, HPV-DNA detection can be detected and treated in time in the early stage of canceration.

Differential diagnosis

1, the difference between cervical cysts and ovarian cysts: in chronic cervicitis, the uterine gland and surrounding tissues are hyperplasia. When the gland tube is squeezed by the surrounding tissue, the glandular orifice is blocked, so that the secretions in the gland can not be drained and remain inside, causing the glandular cavity to expand, forming a cystic mass of varying sizes, called a Nabute cyst. It contains mucus that is often clear and transparent, but may be cloudy and purulent due to co-infection. The cyst is generally small and scattered and can protrude from the surface of the cervix. Small only small millet grains, large to large corn kernels, blue-white, may be accompanied by erosion, but also common in the smooth surface of the cervix. Due to the long-term stimulation of chronic inflammation, cervical tissue recurrence of congestion, edema, inflammatory cell infiltration and connective tissue hyperplasia, resulting in hypertrophy of the cervix, severe cases can more than double the normal cervix. Serious inflammation can lead to abnormal menstruation or even infertility.

2, ovarian cyst refers to the ovarian cystic mass, ovarian cyst is a kind of ovarian tumor, may be benign, it may be malignant, often appearing signs of intra-abdominal mass, intra-abdominal mass below medium, if no Complications or malignant changes, the most characteristic of which is mobility, can often be transferred from the pelvic cavity to the abdominal cavity. The mass is generally not tender, but if there are complications or malignant changes, not only the mass itself has tenderness, but also symptoms of peritoneal irritation. Another obvious sign is ascites. Ascites is often characterized by malignant tumors, but benign cysts such as ovarian fibroids and papillary cystadenoma can also produce ascites. Endocrine symptoms such as hairy, thickened voice, clitoris hypertrophy, etc. are masculine cysts. In addition, ovarian cysts can be malignant, characterized by extremely enlarged abdomen, significant weight loss, painful facial expression, and severe exhaustion.
