Patient's question:
What are the causes of chronic follicular cysts?Doctor's answer:
Hello, a follicular cyst is caused by various conditions leading to ovarian congestion, such as chronic pelvic inflammation or ovarian prolapse, which results in impaired ovarian blood supply. This causes the capsule to thicken, preventing mature follicles from rupturing and releasing eggs. The fluid secreted within the follicle accumulates, forming a cyst.
