All women have two ovaries. One ovary is located on each side of the uterus. Each ovary is about the size and shape of an almond. Eggs develop and mature in these ovaries and then released in monthly cycles during the childbearing years.
Ovarian cysts are a common female disorder. They are sacs, usually filled with fluid, in an ovary or on its surface.
Sometimes ovarian cysts can become twisted or burst open (rupture). This can cause serious symptoms.
Ovarian cysts and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are related conditions that can cause similar symptoms, but they have some key differences:
Ovarian cysts are usually asymptomatic, but can cause pain or discomfort in the abdomen, irregular periods, and spotting.
PCOS is one of the most common hormonal imbalances affecting women, in which the levels of reproductive hormones i.e., which leads to the growth of ovarian cysts and its symptoms may include irregular periods, hirsutism or unwanted facial hair growth, acne, and weight gain etc.
It is characterized by.
- High levels of androgens (male hormones – testosterone) that can prevent the ovaries from releasing an egg each month like they normally do in women without hormone imbalances.
- Too much insulin in the bodies that may cause the ovaries to produce more male hormones)
Common causes:
The exact cause of PCOS is still unknown, but here are some possible contributing factors:
- Lifestyle and environmental factors.
- Genetics – run in families
- An abnormally high level of male sex hormones
- Poor diet especially a high-glycaemic diet that’s high in sugar and refined carbohydrates.
- Chronic stress or inflammation
- Inappropriate level of physical activity, whether too high or too low depending on the woman
- Thyroid disorders or imbalances, such as hypothyroidism or underactive thyroid
- Exposure to high amounts of endocrine-disrupting chemicals
- Having a high percentage of body fat, being overweight or obese
- For some women, having a low percentage of body fat (usually from following a restricted diet that’s too low in calories)
