What age group of people tends to get ovarian cysts

Patient's question:

Recently, some of my friends have told me that many young women are suffering from ovarian cysts now, and I'm very worried that I might get one too. I'd like to ask, what age group is most likely to develop ovarian cysts?

Doctor's answer:

Etiology and Prevention of Ovarian Tumor Diseases
The causes of ovarian tumor diseases are unclear, but environmental and endocrine factors are most emphasized among the risk factors. High-risk groups include:
Environmental factors: Women in industrialized countries and upper-class societies have a higher incidence of ovarian cancer.
Endocrine factors: Ovarian tumors often occur in nulliparous or infertile women, as well as in cases of generational inheritance and family history.
Additionally, during the treatment of ovarian cysts, the patient's dietary condition and care are also crucial. Patients should pay close attention to rest and engage in appropriate activities to avoid unnecessary harm.
