Patient's question:
Abdomen is very hard, I'm very scared. I went for a check-up and was told I have an ovarian cyst. I don't know what to do now. Please ask: What are the risk factors that cause ovarian cysts?Doctor's answer:
Hydrops, atrophy, and neoplasms of the ovaries are collectively referred to as common gynecological diseases, which can occur in both children and the elderly. Ovarian tumors are the most diverse, categorized into two types: physiological and pathological. Physiological types include follicular cysts and corpus luteum cysts. Pathological types are further divided into neoplasms and non-neoplastic tumors. Long-term poor dietary structure, unhealthy lifestyle habits, excessive psychological stress, and other factors can lead to excessive acidification of the body, an increase in overall physiological function, and ultimately result in kidney deficiency. Since the liver and kidneys are interconnected (liver and kidney share a common origin), kidney deficiency also leads to liver deficiency. This further slows down the decomposition and metabolic cycle in the lower urinary tract, causing ovarian diseases and endocrine disorders. The immune function may also be elevated, leading to abnormal fibrosis of ovarian tissue and ultimately resulting in ovarian cysts.
