Answers:

Serious question here!?


Many women own Nabothian Cysts, and totally unaware they enjoy them, until they have a pelvic exam or a pelvic u/s. I see them regularly. They are not cancerous, they do not become cancer, and they once in a while produce any symptoms. They do not cause adverse condition effects and they are clinically insignificant for the most part.

"Each cyst appears as a small, white, pimple-like elevation. They can turn out singly or in groups, and they are not a threat to health."

"Because nabothian cysts are commonplace and do not cause any symptoms, you probably will not know they are in attendance. However, if you are an adult woman who is sexually helpful, it is important to drop by your gynecologist at least once a year for a routine checkup."

From Wikipedia (linked below):
"A nabothian cyst is a mucus-filled cyst on the surface of the cervix. They are most often cause when new tissue growth blocks the nabothian glands of the cervix; this traps mucosal secretion in small (usually 2-10 mm contained by diameter) subdermal pockets.
Nabothian cysts appear most often as firm bumps on the cervix's surface. A woman may concentration the cyst when inserting a diaphragm or cervical cap, or when doing the cervix check as sector of fertility awareness. A gynecologist may notice the cysts during a pelvic exam.
Nabothian cysts are considered safe and usually disappear on their own. Some women notice they appear and disappear surrounded by relation to their menstrual cycle. If a woman is not sure the anomaly she has found on her cervix is a nabothian cyst, a call on to a doctor is recommended to rule out other conditions.
Rarely, nabothian cysts have a correlation near chronic cervicitis, an inflammatory infection of the cervix.
Nabothian cysts are not considered problematic unless they grow very sizeable and present secondary symptoms. A gynecologist may will to perform a colposcopy or biopsy on a nabothian cyst to check for cancer or other problems. Two methods for removing these cysts include electrocautery and cryofreezing.
Nabothian cysts are also certain as nabothian follicles, mucinous retention cysts, or epithelial inclusion cysts."

You might feel better discussing this near your gynecologist or family doctor.
