Nabothian Cyst

A Nabothian cyst is a small buildup of mucus that forms on the surface of the cervix when the glands that produce that mucus become covered and retain their contents. It is usually a benign and very common finding.

Frequent symptoms: it usually causes no discomfort and is discovered during a routine gynecological exam; it is rarely associated with symptoms.

When is it worth reviewing? Although it is almost always harmless, with bleeding, pain or doubts during an exam it is reasonable to raise it at a visit.

Which specialist evaluates it? The gynecologist is the one who identifies and follows up on a Nabothian cyst. Keeping up with periodic checkups and resolving doubts with a professional helps provide peace of mind about the health of the cervix.
