4. Nabothian Cysts & Chronic Cervicitis
Chronic cervicitis is a less common cause of a Nabothian cyst. Cervicitis means chronic inflammation of the cervix. It may stem from a sexually transmitted disease, such as gonorrhea or chlamydia. Individuals could also develop chronic cervical inflammation from bacteria overgrowth not caused by a sexually transmitted disease.6‘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.
Chronic cervicitis may cause pain during urination and an increase in cervical discharge.6‘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. It could also lead to Nabothian cyst forming.2‘Nabothian Cysts.’ Harvard Health, Harvard Health Publishing , www.health.harvard.edu/a/to/z/nabothian-cysts-a-to-z.
