What is a Nabothian Cyst?

A Nabothian cyst is a small, fluid-filled lump that forms on the surface of your cervix. It happens when the natural mucus-producing glands in the cervix get covered by skin cells, trapping the mucus underneath. Over time, this forms a tiny cyst.


These cysts are quite common and usually harmless. Many women don't even realize they have a cervical cyst until a doctor spots it during a routine pelvic exam or Pap smear. They're especially seen in women who've gone through childbirth or have had any kind of inflammation in the cervix.


Nabothian cysts don't affect your menstrual cycle, fertility, or sexual health. In almost every case, they require no treatment at all. But if a cervical cyst grows unusually large or starts causing discomfort (which is rare), your doctor may recommend a simple procedure to remove it. In most situations, though, the best approach is just to leave it alone and monitor it when needed. To book a consultation with our expert gynecologist for nabothian cyst treatment in Delhi, call Pristyn Care now.

Diagnosis & Treatment of Nabothian Cyst in Delhi

Nabothian Cyst Diagnosis

Most women find out that they have a Nabothian cyst simply because it showed up during a routine pelvic exam. Your gynecologist may find a small bump on the cervix that you didn’t know existed. It’s smooth, round, and mostly white or pale yellow. It usually doesn’t cause any major harm.

These cysts don’t usually bleed, grow aggressively, or change the way you feel. However, it’s natural to want clarity, especially when something unfamiliar shows up in your body.

In case of any doubt, your doctor may advise these few simple tests:

  • Pelvic ultrasound

This is a non-invasive scan that uses sound waves to get a clearer picture of the cervical cyst. It helps in confirming the size and depth of the cyst and ensures that everything else is normal around it.

 

  • Colposcopy

Consider it as a magnified view of your cervix. If the cyst looks irregular or if there’s any redness, your doctor may use a colposcope for a closer look and rule out anything unusual.

 

  • Pap smear

This test helps rule out abnormal changes in the cervix that may be happening along with it. It’s a routine part of women’s health screening and is often done at the same time.

 

  • MRI or CT scan (only if needed)

In rare cases, if the cyst is unusually large, causing ongoing discomfort, or appears alongside other complex symptoms, doctors also advise advanced imaging. These scans give a detailed view of deeper tissues.

In most cases, no further tests are needed once your gynecologist confirms it’s a Nabothian cyst. But if you’re feeling unsure, in pain, or noticing any new symptoms, it’s worth getting it checked again. Timely medical clarity helps to avoid unnecessary worry and take the right step forward.

 

Types of Nabothian Cyst Treatment

 

In most cases, Nabothian cysts are harmless and don’t need immediate medical intervention. They’re mostly incidental, finding something your doctor notices during a check-up, rather than something that you notice or complain about. There are situations where it is necessary to consider treatment, especially if the cyst is larger than usual or causing discomfort.

 

Here’s how doctors typically approach treatment, depending on your symptoms and the size of the cyst:

 

1. No Treatment (Only Careful Monitoring)

If the cyst is small and without symptoms, your gynecologist may suggest leaving it alone. Many women live with Nabothian cysts without ever needing medication or procedures. It’s common for the cyst to remain stable or shrink on its own over time. Your gynecologist may check on it during your regular follow-ups just to make sure it isn’t growing or changing.

 

2. Cyst Drainage

If the cyst grows large enough to give a feeling of pressure, fullness, or interferes with cervical examinations or procedures, drainage may become necessary. This is a simple outpatient procedure where the cyst is punctured under local anesthesia to release the trapped mucus. It’s quick, and most people resume their normal routine the same day.

 

3. Surgical Excision of Nabothian Cysts

When the cyst becomes unusually large, returns frequently, or causes consistent pain or bleeding, your doctor may advise a minor surgical removal. This is done using techniques like electrocautery, laser ablation, or a cold knife excision, depending on the location and depth of the cyst. It’s a straightforward procedure, and recovery is typically fast.

 

4. Treating Associated Cervical Conditions

Sometimes, Nabothian cysts coexist with cervical inflammation or chronic cervicitis. In such cases, your gynecologist prioritises treating the underlying condition using antibiotics, estrogen creams (in menopausal women), or anti-inflammatory medicines. Resolving the inflammation improves your overall cervical health and reduces the risk.

If your doctor has confirmed you have a Nabothian cyst but you are still unsure what to do next, consult a gynecologist who takes the time to give a complete assessment for an effective mode of treatment. Get effective nabothian cyst treatment in Delhi at Pristyn Care.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a Nabothian cyst go away on its own?

Yes, mostly nabothian cysts are small, harmless, and may resolve in some time without any treatment. They’re often spotted incidentally during routine pelvic exams.

Can a Nabothian cyst get infected?

Though the chances are rare, a Nabothian cyst can get infected. The infection may occur especially if the cyst grows large or gets irritated. In such cases, the patient feels discomfort or discharge and requires medical care.

Are Nabothian cysts painful?

Nabothian cysts are usually painless. However, if they grow unusually large or infected, these can cause pelvic discomfort or a feeling of fullness.

Do Nabothian cysts affect fertility?

No, they don’t usually impact fertility. These cysts form on the cervix’s surface and don’t interfere with ovulation, implantation, or pregnancy.

Can Nabothian cysts cause cancer?

No. Nabothian cysts are benign and not linked to cervical cancer. But any abnormal symptoms should still be evaluated to rule out other conditions.

What to do if you have multiple nabothian cysts?

Multiple nabothian cysts are a common harmless occurrence. However, if you have painful symptoms such as discomfort, discharge, or changes during a pelvic exam, you must get a proper checkup done from a gynecologist.

Nabothian Cyst Size Chart

Nabothian cyst size Measurement What it implies Recommended treatment
Small Smaller than 1 cm Common, painless, mostly found by chance Doesn’t need immediate treatment
Moderate 1-3 cm May exert minor pelvic pressure or be felt during exams Monitoring or optional drainage
Large 3-5 cm Interfere with cervical exams, may cause discomfort Draining the cyst or surgical removal
Very Large More than 5cm or many together Rarely found, may imitate other cervical conditions or cause pressure pain

 

 

Why is nabothian cyst treatment important?

Indeed, mostly Nabothian cysts don’t cause major harm, and thus there is no need for immediate medical attention. 

But that doesn’t mean that you dismiss it completely. The importance of treatment lies in knowing which cysts are significant and when they should be treated immediately.

Treatment becomes necessary when the cyst tends to affect your health, regular routine, or your mental peace.

Here’s why:

  • Cysts can keep growing silently.
    It may start as a small cyst in cervix, but sometimes, it can gradually enlarge and create pressure within the cervix. In such a scenario, you might start feeling discomfort during intercourse, pelvic exams, or even when you sit.

 

  • They can complicate other procedures.
    If you’re planning pregnancy, undergoing IVF, or need a cervical biopsy, a large cyst near the cervical opening can get in the way. In these situations, treating the cyst improves access and prevents procedural delays.

 

  • Not all cysts are what they seem.
    Cervical polyps, glandular tumors, or chronic infections can sometimes resemble Nabothian cysts. What looks simple on the surface might require deeper assessment. Treating or removing the cyst also allows for tissue analysis, ensuring there’s nothing more serious beneath.

 

  • Infections can develop inside neglected cysts.
    Though rare, mucus-filled cysts can get secondarily infected, especially in women with chronic cervicitis or hormonal imbalance. If left untreated, they can cause localized inflammation, pain, and abnormal discharge.

 

  • And sometimes, treatment is just about comfort.
    Some women feel discomfort even when the cyst isn’t large. Others feel anxious not knowing whether it could grow. For many, choosing treatment is about clarity and control over their reproductive health, because it matters to them.

 

Though treatment isn’t always the first step, a timely evaluation is. It ensures that you’re acting ahead of the time. Discussing with a gynecologist who understands when to act, and when to simply watch and wait is the only safe way to get rid of a nabothian cyst. Book your consultation today!
