Patient's question:
Female, 18 years old. My daughter has no sexual activity, and I am also quite attentive to her hygiene. However, recently the girl has been feeling itchy in her external genital area, and her studies have been affected. She is very troubled. Please ask: What are the causes of ovarian cysts?Doctor's answer:
1. Hereditary and family factors. A quarter of patients with ovarian cysts have a history of tumors in their immediate family members, which is one of the causes of ovarian cysts.2. Endocrine factors. Most ovarian cysts recur in women who have not been pregnant, as early pregnancy has a counteracting effect on ovarian cysts. Additionally, the repeated erosion of ovarian surface epithelial cells caused by daily menopause is also related to the recurrence of ovarian cysts, which is another cause of ovarian cysts.
3. Environmental factors. The content of high cholesterol in the diet is related. Moreover, ionizing radiation, asbestos, and talcum powder can affect oocytes, leading to the development of ovarian cysts.
