There is no clear relationship between ovarian cysts and estrogen, and there is no clear authoritative data to prove whether ovarian cysts occur due to high or low estrogen levels.

Ovarian cysts may be caused by various pathogenic factors such as endocrine factors, environmental factors, lifestyle factors, drug factors, and infection factors, which lead to cystic changes in the ovaries. It has no direct relationship with the patient's sex hormone level. There is no clear authoritative data to prove whether the estrogen level in the patient's body increases or decreases when the patient develops ovarian cysts.

Patients with ovarian cysts may experience abnormal menstrual changes such as increased menstruation, decreased menstrual volume, prolonged or shortened menstrual cycles, and may also experience symptoms such as abdominal masses, distension and pain, and vaginal bleeding on the affected side.
