What is the difference between a cervical cyst and an ovarian cyst?

Female friends are often troubled by some gynecological diseases. Among the numerous gynecological diseases, female friends often feel confused when looking at similar disease names. The names seem to be the same, but in fact they are different diseases in different parts of the body. Their symptoms and harm to the body are also completely different. For example, what is the difference between a cervical cyst and an ovarian cyst?

Cervical cyst is a type of chronic cervicitis and a common gynecological disease. Women with cervical cysts will mainly experience increased vaginal discharge, which is mucopurulent. The stimulation of vaginal discharge can cause vulvar itching and burning sensation, and may also experience symptoms such as intermenstrual bleeding and bleeding after sexual intercourse. The reason for its formation is similar to that of "acne" on the face. During the healing process of cervical erosion, the new squamous epithelium covers the opening of the cervical gland duct or extends into the gland duct, blocking the opening of the gland duct; the connective tissue around the gland duct proliferates or scars form, compressing the gland duct, causing the gland duct to narrow or even block, and the drainage of glandular secretions is blocked. The cyst formed by retention is called cervical nabothian cyst. It is common in diseases such as recurrent cervical cancer, cervical cancer, cervical erosion, and cervicitis.

Ovarian cysts are a type of ovarian tumor in a broad sense. They can occur in people of all ages, but are most common in those aged 20 to 50 years. Ovarian tumors are common tumors of the female reproductive system and have various properties and morphologies, namely: unilateral or bilateral, cystic or solid, benign or malignant, among which cystic ones are more common and have a certain proportion of malignant ones. The most significant feature of an abdominal mass that is smaller than medium in size, if without complications or malignant transformation, is its mobility, which can often move from the pelvic cavity to the abdominal cavity. In malignant or inflammatory conditions, the tumor is limited in mobility. The mass is generally not tender to the touch, but if there are complications such as infection, not only will the mass itself be tender, but there may even be symptoms of peritoneal irritation and ascites.

Although cervical cysts and ovarian cysts are both cysts, from the names you can tell that they are cysts in different locations, one in the cervix and the other in the ovary. When a cyst appears in the cervix, symptoms of bleeding during sexual intercourse often occur. Ovarian cysts can affect a woman's conception due to irregular menstruation, lower abdominal pain, etc.
