John Smith, a 42-year-old high school...
John Smith, a 42-year-old high school teacher and father of two, had been experiencing persistent, dull pelvic pain and discomfort during intercourse for over a year. He initially dismissed it as stress-related, but the pain became more constant, affecting his daily life and relationship with his wife. His primary care physician found no obvious cause and referred him to a gynecologist. The specialist, after a detailed history and physical exam, suspected a non-inflammatory cervical disorder, possibly cervical stenosis or a nabothian cyst. She recommended a colposcopy with possible biopsy to visualize the cervix directly and rule out other conditions. John was anxious but relieved to be taking action. The procedure was performed in-office under local anesthesia; it was uncomfortable but brief. The biopsy confirmed a large, benign nabothian cyst causing the symptoms. A week later, the cyst was easily drained during a follow-up visit. Within two weeks, John's pain had resolved completely. Emotionally, he moved from frustration and worry about the impact on his family life to immense relief and gratitude for a simple, effective solution.
