1. Nabothian Cyst Description
A Nabothian cyst is a fluid-filled sac that forms on a cervix. Individuals may feel a lump on their cervix when one develops. Generally, the cyst is between two and 10 millimeters in diameter. It doesn't tend to cause any symptoms. Larger cysts could become bothersome, though.2‘Nabothian Cysts.’ Harvard Health, Harvard Health Publishing , www.health.harvard.edu/a/to/z/nabothian-cysts-a-to-z.
A Nabothian cyst's color depends on the mucus inside of it. Therefore, the cyst could appear a pale yellow color or even have a more amber tone. Some are white. In some cases, people may develop more than one cyst at a time.3‘Nabothian Cyst.’ Nabothian Cyst , Mount Sinai Health System, www.mountsinai.org/health-library/diseases-conditions/nabothian-cyst.
