What causes ovarian cysts?

Ovarian cysts are fluid retention in a woman's ovaries, usually manifesting as one or more cystic structures. Ovarian cysts can be caused by endocrine disorders, genetic factors, chronic inflammation, lifestyle habits, mental factors, etc.

1. Endocrine disorders:

The ovaries are an important part of the human endocrine system and are controlled by sex hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. When these hormone levels are unbalanced, the follicles or corpus luteum in the ovaries may not be discharged normally, resulting in cysts.

2. Genetic factors:

Studies have found that women with a family history of ovarian cysts have a significantly increased risk.

3. Chronic inflammation:

The formation of ovarian cysts is also closely related to chronic inflammation, which can damage the function of ovarian tissue and affect the normal discharge of follicles or corpus luteum.

4. Lifestyle habits:

Bad living habits, such as excessive fatigue, irregular diet, staying up late for a long time, etc., may lead to endocrine disorders, and then cause ovarian cysts.

5. Mental factors:

Long-term mental stress and mood swings can also affect endocrine stability and induce ovarian cysts.
