Ovarian cysts can cause female infertility

Ovarian cysts are common tumors of the female reproductive system. They can occur at any age, but are more common in women aged 20 to 50. Symptoms include lower abdominal pain, discomfort, increased vaginal discharge, and abnormal menstruation. When the cyst affects hormone secretion, irregular vaginal bleeding and increased body hair may also occur. At the same time, ovarian cysts can lead to female infertility. So, why do ovarian cysts lead to female infertility?

1. Obstacles in egg development, maturation, and discharge

The ovaries are the place where eggs develop, mature, and are released. If cysts appear in the ovaries, the affected area loses its corresponding function, leading to ovulation disorders and infertility. Related studies have shown that people with larger ovarian cysts have a higher incidence of infertility, and the incidence of infertility with bilateral cysts is high, which may be related to more and larger ovarian lesions, which lose the effective function of follicle development and ovulation.

2. Influence of hormone levels

Certain ovarian cysts with endocrine functions can produce corresponding hormones, interfering with the normal secretion of ovarian hormones, thereby affecting the production and discharge of eggs and leading to infertility.

3. The impact of related causes of ovarian cysts

The occurrence of ovarian cysts is related to factors such as high-cholesterol diet, ionizing radiation, and chemical damage, which are also one of the causes of female infertility, that is, two diseases are caused by the same damage.
