Patient's question:
I have always been in good health, but recently I've been feeling quite tired and often experiencing pain. Especially, my menstrual cycle has been irregular. I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and the doctor said I have an ovarian cyst. What is an ovarian cyst and what causes it?Doctor's answer:
The main reasons for developing ovarian cysts are due to endocrine disorders or abnormal fibrosis of the ovaries. If it is a physiological corpus luteum cyst, it is closely related to changes in estrogen and progesterone hormones. This is caused by the luteinization of an unruptured follicle, and it will change with the fluctuation of hormones. If it is a pathological ovarian cyst, it may cause abdominal pain and changes in menstruation, and it is necessary to combine medication or surgical treatment.
