How to treat Nabothian cysts
Disease description:
Last week, I went to the hospital for a gynecological examination. When I received the results later, I found out I had a Nabothian cyst. Currently, I don't have any symptoms, and I'm unsure whether treatment is necessary. Could you please tell me how Nabothian cysts are treated?

Nabothian cysts, also known as cervical Nabothian cysts, can be treated through various approaches, including:
General management: Maintain good lifestyle habits, clean the genital area regularly, frequently change and wash underwear, and avoid irritating foods.
Medication: If the cyst is caused by chronic cervicitis, antibiotics may be used under a doctor's guidance, such as levofloxacin hydrochloride tablets or azithromycin dispersible tablets.
Physical therapy: Suitable for smaller cysts, methods include laser, cryotherapy, and microwave therapy, which can effectively reduce the size of the cyst.
Surgical treatment: For larger cysts or severe symptoms, surgical options such as cyst excision or cervical cyst fenestration may be required.
Treatment of Nabothian cysts should be individualized and based on medical advice to ensure both effectiveness and patient safety.
