3. Complications

Most of the time, nabothian cysts don't cause any trouble. However, if they grow quite large or multiply, they can make Pap smears and routine gynecological exams painful or even impossible to complete. If that happens, you'll need treatment so your regular health screenings can safely continue. Because they are filled with mucus, these cysts can occasionally rupture. A ruptured cyst might cause unusual discharge or light vaginal bleeding with a slight odor.
