3. Ovarian Cysts Causes
There are four common causes of ovarian cysts: infection, endometriosis, hormonal problems, and pregnancy. If pelvic infections spread to the ovaries, they can lead to the development of ovarian cysts. Endometriosis, a condition in which tissue that is normally in the uterus, grows in other parts of the body; in this case, within the ovaries.
This tissue can develop into cysts. Hormonal issues, including medications used to promote ovulation, can lead to cysts in the ovaries. Ovarian cysts are normal during early pregnancy. However, these cysts will normally clear as the pregnancy progresses. In some cases, the cysts remain and become problematic.
