3. Nabothian Cysts After Menopause
People might develop one or more Nabothian cysts after they go through menopause. This time in a woman's life comes with reproductive system changes like cervical thinning, meaning thinner cervical tissue. The tissue thinning occurs as a result of a decrease in estrogen production. The process is known as vaginal atrophy.4‘Vaginal Atrophy.’ Mayo Clinic, Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research, 2 May 2019, www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/vaginal-atrophy/symptoms-causes/syc-20352288.
The thinning of the tissue allows the glands to clog easier and cause a cyst. People with a cervix are at more risk of cyst development after a subtotal hysterectomy as well.5RD;, Pelosi MA;Pelosi MA;Rudelli. ‘Symptomatic Cervical Macrocyst as a Late Complication of Subtotal Hysterectomy.
