Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. What are the possible causes of a right ovarian cyst?Doctor's answer:
The causes of right ovarian cysts include:1. Family and genetic factors: Approximately 20-25% of patients with ovarian tumors have a family history of tumors in their immediate relatives.
2. Endocrine factors: Ovarian tumors are more common in nulliparous or infertile women. Pregnancy appears to have a protective effect against ovarian tumors, and it is believed that the repeated damage to the surface epithelial cells of the ovaries caused by daily ovulation may be related to the development of ovarian tumors.
3. Environmental factors: Women in industrialized countries and higher socioeconomic classes have a higher incidence of ovarian cancer, which may be related to high cholesterol intake in their diet. Additionally, ionizing radiation, asbestos, and talcum powder can affect oocytes and increase the risk of developing ovarian tumors. Smoking and deficiencies in vitamins A, C, and E may also be associated with the disease.
