What causes enlarged ovaries? What causes enlarged ovaries?

Ovarian cysts are a type of ovarian tumor in a broad sense. They can occur in people of all ages, but are most common in women aged 20-50. So what is the cause of ovarian cysts?

Causes of ovarian cysts:

1. Environmental factors. Unreasonable dietary structure, high cholesterol diet, vitamin A, C, E deficiency, smoking, ionizing radiation and other environmental factors are related to the occurrence of ovarian cysts;

2. Endocrine factors. The incidence rate is increased in nulliparous or childless women; early menarche (before 12 years old), menopause after 50 years old, frequent menstruation, use of ovulation induction agents for more than 3 cycles, precocious puberty or virilization are also related to the occurrence of ovarian cysts;

3. Bad living habits. Bad living habits, excessive psychological stress and other factors cause excessive acidification of the body, which reduces the overall function of the human body, causing kidney deficiency, which in turn causes the metabolic cycle in the lower part of the body to slow down, resulting in endocrine disorders, decreased immune function, and ultimately ovarian cysts;

4. Congenital factors. If the body cells are in acidic body fluids, the amount of oxygen dissolved in normal cells will decrease, causing the cell activity to decrease and the metabolic cycle to slow down. Normal cells will not be able to survive and the cell phenotype will change, thus forming a cyst entity.

5. Genetics. This is the most important predisposing factor. According to investigation, more than 20% of patients have a family history. Failure to pay attention to care in daily life can easily lead to the occurrence of this disease.

4. Increased waist circumference and abdominal mass: The waist and abdomen become larger, you can feel a mass when pressing your stomach, and you feel bloating and discomfort.
