Nabothian Cysts
During a routine pelvic exam, a doctor may discover one or more small white lumps on a woman's cervix. These are nabothian cysts. They form when the glands lining the cervix become covered with skin cells, plugging up the opening.
Nabothian cysts are common, and most women have them. Typically, they don't cause any problems, and they don't need to be addressed. Numerous or large nabothian cysts may make it more difficult for a doctor to perform a pap test.11‘Nabothian Cyst: MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia.’ MedlinePlus, U.S. National Library of Medicine, medlineplus.gov/ency/article/001514.htm
