What is the cause of uterine adnexal cysts?

The uterus is a very important part of the female body. It affects a woman's entire life and is where life is nurtured. Therefore, if there is a problem with the uterus, it must not be ignored. We must actively understand the cause of the disease and then find effective treatment. Uterine adnex cyst is a disease that may occur in the female uterus. Cyst does not necessarily mean a tumor. We need to understand the various causes of this type of uterine disease and prescribe the right medicine.

The causes of uterine adnexal cysts are: one is caused by inflammation, and the other is caused by endocrine disorders. The cause of uterine adnexal cysts can be physiological (that is, normal and can disappear naturally with the changes in the menstrual cycle) or pathological (cysts formed due to disease). Physiological cysts do not require surgery, while pathological cysts are often rare diseases and are easily overlooked clinically.

Uterine adnex cysts can be divided into congenital and acquired uterine cysts. The former originate from the mesonephric duct and paramesonephric duct, and mostly occur on the posterior wall or fundus of the uterus; the latter are mostly secondary to benign diseases or develop from the interstitial cells of the serosa, including cystic degeneration of uterine fibroids, cystic adenomyoma, cervical retention cysts and uterine serosa cysts.

There are mainly two types of uterine cysts: cervical cysts and odontogenic cysts. Generally, there is pain at the cyst site. Odontogenic cysts are on both sides or one side of the uterus, while cervical cysts are on the cervix. They mainly affect the menstrual cycle and period, so they also affect pregnancy.

As a cyst, it is generally a relatively mild disease among space-occupying lesions. Because of its limited site of occurrence, it is often discovered by patients due to compression or pain. There are also cases without obvious symptoms. Treatment includes surgical resection and drug conditioning, which is determined by the different causes and conditions of the uterine adnexal cyst. However, due to the lack of attention to preventing and controlling the deterioration of the lesion, it may be mistaken for a benign cyst or a malignant disease.

Through the above introduction, I believe that everyone, especially female friends, must have a certain understanding of diseases such as uterine adnexal cysts. If such problems occur in your body, find out the cause of your disease and actively seek treatment. Of course, we must take good care of our uterus and pay attention to hygiene and safety. If our uterus shows signs of disease, we must actively seek treatment and not be discouraged.
