A nabothian cyst (or nabothian follicle) [1] is a mucus-filled cyst on the surface of the cervix. They are most often caused when stratified squamous epithelium of the ectocervix (portion nearest to the vagina) grows over the simple columnar epithelium of the endocervix (portion nearest to the uterus). This tissue growth can block the cervical ...
Endometrioma (also called chocolate cyst) is the presence of tissue similar to, but distinct from, the endometrium in and sometimes on the ovary. It is the most common form of endometriosis . [ 1 ] Endometrioma is found in 17–44% patients with endometriosis.
Cervical stenosis may be present from birth or may be caused by other factors: Surgical procedures performed on the cervix such as colposcopy, cone biopsy, or a cryosurgery procedure [3] Trauma to the cervix [3] Repeated vaginal infections [3] Atrophy of the cervix after menopause [3] Cervical cancer [1] Radiation [1] Cervical nabothian cysts
The follicular cyst of the ovary is a type of functional [1] simple cyst, and is the most common type of ovarian cyst. Signs and symptoms.
This discharge can keep occurring for years, in which case it becomes more yellow and strong-smelling. It is usually a non-pathological symptom secondary to inflammatory conditions of the vagina or cervix. [5] Leukorrhea can be confirmed by finding >10 WBC per high-power field under a microscope when examining vaginal fluid. [6]
The most common causes for adnexal masses in premenopausal women include follicular cysts and corpus luteum cysts. Abscesses can form as a complication of pelvic inflammatory disease . In postmenopausal women, adnexal masses may be caused by cancer , fibroids , fibromas , or diverticular abscesses.
Risk factors include obesity, high blood pressure and a history of cervical polyps. [3] Taking tamoxifen or hormone replacement therapy can also increase the risk of uterine polyps. [ 3 ] [ 8 ] The use of an intrauterine system containing levonorgestrel in women taking tamoxifen may reduce the incidence of polyps.
Other causes are acquired, such as cervical stenosis, intrauterine adhesions, endometrial cancer, and cervical cancer. [ 3 ] Additionally, hematometra may develop as a complication of uterine or cervical surgery such as endometrial ablation , where scar tissue in the endometrium can "wall off" sections of endometrial glands and stroma causing ...
