7. Nabothian Cysts and Pregnancy

It's actually quite common for these cysts to form during pregnancy or after giving birth. Normally, the cervix stays slightly open to let menstrual blood and sperm pass through, but during pregnancy, it remains firmly shut. After delivery, fresh tissue grows over the cervical mucus glands. This new tissue can trap the mucus, leading directly to nabothian cysts. If you're pregnant and worried about a new lump or cyst, definitely bring it up with your doctor.
