Nabothian Cyst in the Cervix
What is Nabothian Cyst
A mucous-filled growth that develops within a nabothian gland. The nabothian glands are clusters of mucous-secreting cells on the surface of the CERVIX. Nabothian cysts are very common, cause no symptoms, and present no health risk. Typically the health-care provider discovers nabothian cysts, which are hard and pimplelike, during routine PELVIC EXAMINATION. Occasionally the doctor may choose to further examine nabothian cysts using COLPOSCOPY to confirm the diagnosis.
