What Are The Causes Of Cysts?

The vast majority of cysts occur in women who are between the ages of 18 to 40. They occur uncommonly in post menopausal women. There are various types of cysts, but generally speaking they resemble blisters and are fluid filled sacs that you find on the ovaries. The causes of cysts range from hormonal problems to ovulatory problems.

If the follice that contains and releases an egg does not dissolve after the release of the egg at ovulation then a cyst will form from this undissolved sac. Hormonal imbalances between oestrogen and progesterone in the condition polycystic ovary syndrome causes multiple cysts to grow.

Other cysts will form due to a mixture of reasons. Dermoid cysts are filled with various types of tissue including skin and hair. Endometriosis cysts are blood cysts and occur when the tissue from the lining of the uterus attaches to the ovaries. This will bleed every month when a woman has her period, causing the cyst to swell.

Cells can develop on the outer surface of the ovaries and are called adenoma cysts. There is a syndrome called polycystic ovary syndrome which causes the outer shell of the ovaries to harden and thicken making ovulation impossible. This may result in infertility. These cysts result from a build up of follicle cysts and the syndrome results from a hormonal imbalance and there can be quite a lot of symptoms along with the cysts including, excessive weight gain and an increase in bodily hair.

The symptoms of cysts may be pain and a dull ache in the stomach. Sometimes they do not cause any problems at all and therefore a lot of people may not even realise they have a cyst.

Surgery is not usually required for asymptomatic cysts and the advice given may be to leave them alone to see if they go of their own accord. If, however, the cyst ruptures or is very painful or large, surgical intervention may be indicated.
