What are the causes and symptoms of ovarian cysts?

Ovarian cysts are a common gynecological disease in women. Ovarian cysts have no obvious clinical manifestations in the early stages, so they are often discovered during gynecological examinations when patients seek medical treatment for other diseases. So what factors cause ovarian cysts and what are the symptoms?

Causes:

1. Genetic factors

According to statistics, 20% to 25% of ovarian tumor patients have a family history.

2. 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 dysfunction of multiple endocrine systems in the body.

3. Lifestyle factors

Long-term bad diet structure, living habits, and excessive psychological stress can lead to physiological ovarian cysts and true ovarian tumors.

4. Environmental factors

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.

5. 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;

Clinical symptoms:

1. Abdominal pain: Patients often suffer from abdominal pain, especially sudden abdominal pain.

2. Lower abdominal discomfort: The patient has a feeling of distension and heaviness in the lower abdomen or iliac fossa.
