Do Cervical Cysts Need Treatment?

Hello! Today we will discuss an important question: do cervical cysts need treatment? I am Anastasia, an obstetrician-gynecologist and gynecological endocrinologist, and I will answer this question for you.

What Are Cervical Cysts?

Cervical cysts are small fluid-filled cavities that form in the tissues of the cervix. This is a common condition that often does not cause any symptoms and is discovered incidentally during a gynecological examination.

When Is Treatment Not Necessary?

In most cases, cervical cysts do not require treatment because they do not transform into malignant tumors and do not pose a health risk. These cysts are typically monitored. Treatment is necessary only in cases when the cyst:

• Is very large and compresses the cervical canal, preventing the normal flow of menstrual blood from the uterus.
• Interferes with pregnancy planning by obstructing sperm movement into the uterus.

Causes of Cervical Cysts

Cervical cysts can arise for various reasons, but they most commonly occur due to trauma to the cervix. This can happen after childbirth or procedures like cauterization for treating cervical erosion.

How Are Cervical Cysts Treated?

If the cyst causes symptoms or is large, the doctor may suggest treatment options. In other cases, no treatment is required, and regular check-ups are enough to monitor the condition of the cervix.

Conclusion

There is no need to worry if you have been diagnosed with a cervical cyst. In most cases, it does not require treatment. It is important to maintain regular gynecological check-ups to monitor your health. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to schedule an appointment!
