cyst found in my cervix - is it serious? email this discussion to a friend?

gne925 (43)1 year ago

i have a regular monthly period but it only lasts about 2 days which is not normal to me.so i decided to go to my ob and asked and she recommended for several trans v... my ob said she found some cyst in the surroundings of my cervix. and she is recommending me to have it biopsy for confirmation... im afraid. im so afraid, so i didnt go back to her.but i cant help thinking about it...does anyone of you or your friends had this kind of cyst (if it is really one..) and do you think that being not sexually active causes this?

This is from the Mayo Clinic's website. The Mayo Clinic is very highly regarded when it comes to being the most advanced in the detection and treatment of many conditions.

Cervical cysts — fluid-filled lumps that form on the cervix — are rarely cancerous.

Cervical cysts usually are discovered incidentally during a pelvic exam. They typically cause no symptoms and don't require treatment unless they grow large enough to cause pain. In such cases, treatment may include removal of the cyst.

In the rare case that a cervical cyst has an unusual appearance or is accompanied by the signs and symptoms suggestive of cervical cancer, such as abnormal vaginal bleeding or discharge, pelvic pain, or pain during intercourse, your doctor may perform a colposcopy. A colposcopy is a procedure in which your doctor inserts a speculum just as when taking a Pap smear but uses a special microscope to magnify the cervix. If the cyst appears abnormal during a colposcopy, your doctor may perform a biopsy to rule out cancer.


So, according to this article these cysts are rarely cancerous and are usually nothing to worry about. You need to stop being afraid and do as your doctor recommended because, if you do need treatment, you are delaying it. Not knowing what you are dealing with is a lot worse than knowing so get this taken care of as soon as possible so you can stop being so afraid.

well my period starts very slightly for a couple of hours and then goes away and comes back and goes away, and then it will start properly when it supposed to. i have pcos and was told that was i am going thru is nothing to worry about, but i end up wasting pads for nothing though and its so annoying. i get mine between 3-5 days. i think 2 days is not long though.
