HPV does not cause cervical nabothian cysts. Cervical cysts are not associated with HPV infection of the cervix; the impact of HPV infection on cervical cysts is primarily assessed through HPV testing. Cervical cysts are glandular cysts formed when the openings of cervical gland ducts become obstructed, leading to accumulation of secretions within the glands and subsequent cyst formation.
