Cause of Ovarian Cysts

What are the Causes of Ovarian Cysts?

What causes ovarian cysts?

That's a good question.

It's hard to say exactly what causes an ovarian cyst.

You will often hear the medical explanation of how the ovarian cyst was formed. That is to say, the medical experts can explain what happens, i.e. the follicle doesn't break open to release the egg, etc... but they can't really tell you why the follicle doesn't release the egg.

Again, some cysts are 'caused by' the pituitary gland not sending the signal to stop egg production by an increase of progesterone, but nobody knows exactly why the pituitary doesn't make that normal signal.

So, at best you will normally find the 'medical explanation', but still be left to wonder why it all happened in the first place.

There has been a fair amount of speculation as to the underlying causes of why women get ovarian cysts. An interesting thing to note is that the occurrence of ovarian cysts in younger women has risen dramatically over the last 40 years. Generally, the speculative reasons why ovarian cysts develop are due to several factors listed below:

* Poor lifestyle choices - This includes stress, cigarette smoking and lack of exercise.

* Birth control pills - Sometimes the normal function of the ovaries never recovers after going off birth control.

* Diet - Poor diets tend to contain too much refined sugar and refined carbohydrates. Too much of these cause an unhealthy increase in insulin levels.

* Foods today contain larger quantities of petrochemical contaminates.

The bottom line is that ovarian cyst causes can be from multiple factors, and the best way of reducing your risk is to make good choices when it comes to exercise, nutrition, health care.If you are suffering from an ovarian cyst and want to learn more, then read more here.
