5. Nabothian Cysts & Cancer
A lump on the cervix can be concerning. Cervical cancer forms when cells mutate and eventually form malignant tumors. However, a Nabothian cyst has nothing to do with cellular mutation.7‘Cervical Cancer.’ Mayo Clinic, Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research, 31 July 2019, www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/cervical-cancer/symptoms-causes/syc-20352501.
Nabothian cysts are noncancerous and unlikely to become cancerous later.8‘Cervical Cysts: Can They Be Cancerous?’ Mayo Clinic, Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research, 28 Jan. 2020, www.mayoclinic.org/cervical-cysts/expert-answers/faq. Researchers aren't sure what causes cervical cancer, but it appears that the human papillomavirus (HPV) plays an important role. Smoking tends to increase cancer risk as well, not cysts.7‘Cervical Cancer.’ Mayo Clinic, Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research, 31 July 2019, www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/cervical-cancer/symptoms-causes/syc-20352501.
