The main causes of bilateral ovarian cysts are as follows:

1. Functional ovarian cysts: They are usually produced and disappeared with the periodic changes of the ovaries, abnormal function of the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis, endocrine disorders in the body, and ovulation causes continuous damage and repair of the ovarian surface epithelium, which can increase the chance of inclusion cyst formation.

2. Non-functional ovarian cysts: Continuous ovulation increases the possibility of mutation of ovarian epithelial cells during the process of damage and repair of the ovarian epithelium. Failure to produce and infertility are risk factors for ovarian cancer, while multiple pregnancies, breastfeeding and oral contraceptives have a protective effect. Similarly, the use of ovulation-inducing drugs can increase the risk of ovarian tumors.
