Symptoms of disease - pain in the cervix

Sometimes the glands of the cervix can clog and it formed a cyst (nabothian follicles or cysts nabothian glands).

Vaginal portion of the cervix is covered with multi-layer flat epithelium. The same type of epithelial cell lines the walls of the vagina. Place of transition of the columnar epithelium of the cervical canal in the squamous epithelium of the surface of the cervix is the name of the transition zone. Sometimes the transition zone between the two types of epithelium may shift, and the cylindrical epithelium of the cervical canal covers a small area of vaginal part of cervix of the uterus. In such cases they say about the so-called pseudo (squamous epithelium covering the normal vaginal portion of the cervix, has a pinkish-grey colour, and a cylindrical epithelium of the cervical canal - red; hence the term erosion or erosion).
