What are the causes of bilateral ovarian cysts?

The ovaries are located in the female uterus. They secrete a variety of female hormones to help women maintain their physical appearance. At the same time, the ovaries are also the site where egg cells are produced, and they play an important role in human reproduction. If the ovaries are diseased, these functions will be affected. Ovarian cyst is one of the common diseases. Today, I will tell you about the causes of ovarian cyst.

Endocrine factors: The ovaries are important organs for ovulation and secretion of gonadal hormones. Ovarian tumors often occur during the reproductive age. Clinically, the basic pathophysiological change in many patients with ovarian cysts and polycystic ovary syndrome is that the ovaries produce too much androgen, and the excessive production of androgen is the result of the synergistic effect of abnormal functions of multiple endocrine systems in the body.

Food contamination, such as plant growth hormones used in vegetables, and hormone ingredients such as clenbuterol in formula feeding of livestock and poultry. In recent years, with the improvement of living standards and changes in eating habits in my country, as well as the abuse of hormone drugs and tonics such as breast augmentation, weight loss, and anti-aging by some young and middle-aged women, the high incidence and younger age of ovarian tumors may also be related. In addition, heredity is also an important factor in causing ovarian cysts. According to statistics, 20% to 25% of ovarian tumor patients have a family history. Long-term bad diet structure, living habits, and excessive psychological stress can lead to physiological ovarian cysts and true ovarian tumors.

The diagnosis of ovarian cysts often varies in difficulty depending on the size and characteristics of the tumor. When taking a detailed medical history, attention should be paid not only to the reproductive organs, but also to the general condition and the relevant medical history of other important organs. Combining clinical manifestations with physical examinations, in addition to paying attention to the characteristics of the tumor itself, the general condition should also be understood. Therefore, not only gynecological examinations, but also general examinations, especially abdominal examinations, are extremely important. If necessary, other auxiliary diagnostic methods should be used, and a correct diagnosis can only be obtained after a comprehensive analysis of the medical history.

But when the diameter of the ovarian cyst is relatively small, it will not cause any harm to the body. We only need to conduct regular checkups, no treatment is necessary. However, if it is a malignant cyst or the cyst is relatively large in diameter, we must pay attention to it, actively seek treatment, and perform surgery if necessary to help us recover faster and better.
