Patient's question:
Recently, I haven't been feeling well, so I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was diagnosed with an ovarian cyst. Why do women get ovarian cysts?Doctor's answer:
Different ovarian cysts have different origins. For example, common ovarian cysts may be formed by hormonal stimulation within the body. Industrial pollutants in food, such as vegetables, often use plant growth hormones. In the formula feeding of livestock and poultry, hormones like are present. Physiological corpus luteum cysts are generally not requiring special treatment. Except for a type called chocolate cyst, which is formed by the implantation of endometrium on the ovary. This cyst is commonly seen in cases of induced endometrial implantation due to induced abortion or other surgeries. Generally, chocolate cysts are accompanied by elevated CA125 levels and severe dysmenorrhea, and surgical treatment is usually recommended.
