disappearing nabothian cysts

I have about 6-8 small pimple-like bumps on my cervix. I thought maybe Nabothian cysts but they are only palpable during the second half of my monthly cycle and if I drink soy milk they don't appear at all! Any ideas as to what they are and have any other people reported the soy effect?

Hi there,
You need to have a pelvic exam and pap smear. Nabothian cysts are benign cysts filled with mucous from the glands in the cervix. however, without a physical exam, it is not possible to say whether you have a serious lesion on the cervix.
take care
