    Cervical gland cysts do not require treatment in most cases, and regular follow-up observation is enough. Cervical gland cysts may be related to factors such as chronic cervicitis and the healing process of cervical injury. They usually appear as single or multiple transparent vesicles on the surface of the cervix without obvious symptoms.

    Cervical gland cysts are cystic structures formed by secretion retention after cervical gland ducts are blocked. Most are small in size and grow slowly. If the cyst is small and has no accompanying symptoms such as abnormal vaginal discharge, contact bleeding, etc., it is usually recommended to perform a gynecological examination and cervical cytology screening every 6-12 months, and monitor changes in the cyst through gynecological ultrasound. Pay attention to keeping the perineum clean every day and avoid using irritating lotions to rinse the vagina to reduce the risk of mechanical damage to the cervix.

    When the diameter of the cyst exceeds 3 cm or is complicated by infection, symptoms such as a feeling of distension in the lower abdomen and bleeding after sexual intercourse may occur. At this time, treatment needs to be considered. Clinically, laser ablation or high-frequency electrosurgical resection can be used to remove cysts. When combined with infection, anti-metritis tablets, Baofukang suppositories and other drugs must be used to control inflammation. After treatment, you need to refrain from sexual life for 1-2 months, avoid bathing in the bath and strenuous exercise, and conduct regular reviews to confirm the wound healing.

    You should choose cotton breathable underwear and change it every day, and change sanitary napkins frequently during menstruation. Avoid a moist environment in the perineum caused by long-term use of panty liners, and reduce the intake of spicy and irritating foods. If you find changes in the properties of vaginal secretions or abnormal bleeding, you should seek medical evaluation in time. It is not recommended to use vaginal suppositories or douching treatment by yourself.
