2. Diagnosis

Doctors typically spot these cysts during a routine pelvic exam, or sometimes on a pelvic scan if you need cervical imaging for another reason. To confirm the diagnosis, your doctor might gently break the cyst's surface. They can also use a colposcopy—a procedure that magnifies the cervix—to get a better look and ensure the bump isn't caused by something else. If there's any lingering doubt, they might take a quick biopsy just to be safe.
