The Nabothian follicle, also known as Nabothian cysts, are benign growths that can develop on the cervix of a woman. However, there are several synonyms for this term such as mucous retention cysts, retention cysts, cervical cysts, endocervical cysts, and epithelial cysts. These cysts are caused when the normal glands on the cervix become blocked or when a part of the cervix grows over a gland. While they are not harmful or painful, they may cause discomfort during sexual activity. Some women may require treatment if the cysts become large or cause bleeding. It is essential to consult a gynecologist for proper diagnosis and treatment of Nabothian follicles.
