---

The causes of ovarian cysts vary, depending on the person and the cyst. Endometriosis is a disease that can create cysts, because the endometrial tissue is misplaced, and this tissue bleeds outside of the uterus during the menstrual cycle. Each time the menstrual period occurs, more bleeding is done by this tissue, and endometrial cysts form and continue to grow over time. These cysts can reach the size of grapefruits and become very uncomfortable. Some causes of ovarian cysts are unknown, and some are natural causes in cysts that are considered functional, like a follicle cyst or a corpus luteum cyst. A follicle cyst happens naturally during ovulation, and this cysts will normally dissolve within a few months, and a corpus luteum cyst is caused when the corpus luteum does not disintegrate, but instead fills with liquid and tissue to form the ovarian cyst.

The causes of ovarian cysts are many, and can include both natural and other causes. If your menstrual cycles are not regular, this can cause cysts to develop, and the same is true if you start menstruating early, generally considered menstruating at age eleven or younger. These cysts may also develop because of an imbalance of hormones in your body, or a thyroid problem which causes lower levels of hormones in your body. If the fallopian tubes fill up with fluid, this can also contribute to the growth of ovarian cysts. Sometimes medications and drugs can also be the causes of ovarian cysts, and the breast cancer drug Tamoxifen is one of these. There is also a condition or disease called Polycystic ovarian syndrome, and in these cases one or both ovaries may develop numerous small cysts which grow into larger cysts. Ovarian cysts can also be caused if an abscess forms in or on the appendix, and this cause may require medical treatment or surgery to resolve. Ovarian cysts can be caused by a number of different factors, medical conditions, and circumstances.
