Cervical nabothian cysts, as growths at the cervical opening, represent pathological changes primarily caused by abnormalities in cervical secretory function. This condition typically does not resolve spontaneously, so surgical treatment is often the preferred option. For cervical nabothian cysts, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly, obtain a definitive diagnosis via colposcopy, and proceed with surgical treatment as advised by a physician. In particular, when the cysts are large or accompanied by symptoms such as lower back pain or bleeding, early surgical intervention is essential to prevent disease progression.
Regarding diet, patients with cervical nabothian cysts generally do not need strict dietary restrictions, but should ensure adequate rest and avoid excessive fatigue. Additionally, for the sake of the baby's health, it is advisable to wait until full recovery before attempting pregnancy, to ensure optimal fetal health. If any physical discomfort occurs, prompt medical consultation is recommended.
