How to treat a 3mm Nabothian cyst of the cervix

When a Nabothian cyst of the cervix is 3 mm in size, treatment selection usually depends on the patient's specific symptoms and the nature of the cyst. For patients who are asymptomatic or have only mild symptoms, observation with regular follow-up to monitor changes in the cyst may be recommended. If the cyst continues to grow or causes noticeable symptoms—such as increased vaginal discharge or a sensation of cervical pressure—treatment may be necessary. Common treatment options include local therapy, medication, and physical therapies. Local treatments, such as using washes that reach deep into the vaginal fornix and cervix, can significantly improve inflammation in the fornix. Medication, under a doctor’s guidance, may include agents like Baofukang suppositories or Huahong tablets to reduce inflammation. Physical therapies, such as laser therapy or electrocautery, can effectively remove abnormal tissue and promote wound healing. During treatment, patients should maintain good external genital hygiene and avoid sexual intercourse and tub baths to prevent interference with treatment outcomes. Additionally, maintaining healthy lifestyle and dietary habits to strengthen the immune system can help promote recovery.
