Postpartum Nabothian cysts are thought to be associated with infection and poor hygiene, such as inadequate personal hygiene or resuming sexual intercourse too soon after delivery. It is recommended to consume foods rich in vitamin B and minerals. Additionally, some women already have gynecological inflammation prior to childbirth. Prolonged inflammatory stimulation of the cervix can lead to cervical hyperemia and edema, and may even trigger the development of cervical cysts. If any abnormalities are detected, a colposcopy should be performed promptly; biopsy may be necessary, followed by histopathological examination to establish a definitive diagnosis.
