2. Nabothian Cysts After Childbirth

Nabothian cysts most often form after giving birth. This is because new cells may form on the cervix after childbirth. Sometimes, the new cells form over top of the mucus glands on the cervix.

In some cases, an excess amount of cells form on the cervix after birth. Ultimately, this makes a woman more prone to developing a Nabothian cyst since an abnormal amount of cells form, and there's a greater potential for blockage.2‘Nabothian Cysts.’ Harvard Health, Harvard Health Publishing , www.health.harvard.edu/a/to/z/nabothian-cysts-a-to-z.
