What causes follicles to become cysts?

If the follicles in a woman's body are immature or poorly developed, it is very likely to lead to infertility. Generally, immature follicles are mostly caused by follicular cysts. Therefore, women must have some knowledge in this area so that you can solve problems in time when you encounter them. It is also very good for your body. I believe you also hope to become a mother as soon as possible.

reason:

1. Causes of disease

The causes of follicular cysts involve both physiological and pathological aspects. The occurrence of cystic follicles and follicular cysts is due to: ① dysfunction of the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian gonadal axis; ② thickening of the ovarian tunica albuginea and obstruction of follicle rupture; ③ the fetus and newborn are affected by hormones secreted by the placenta and maternal hormones.

2. Pathogenesis

1. Naked eye morphology

The surface of the ovary is smooth or bulges at the cyst site, which may be single or occasionally multiple. Located within or beneath the cortex. The diameter of the cyst rarely exceeds 4 cm, and rarely reaches 7 to 8 cm. The cyst wall is thin, the cavity surface is smooth, grayish white or dark purple, and the cyst fluid is watery or bloody.

2. Organizational form

The cyst wall is composed of several layers of granulosa cells and the surrounding theca cells, both of which can be slightly luteinized, and the granulosa cells can form call-Exner bodies. As the cyst fluid increases, the compressed cells of the cyst wall gradually degenerate, and eventually only a layer of flat granulosa cells and hyaline theca cells remain. Histologically, it is often diagnosed as a simple cyst.

symptom:

Follicular cysts generally have no symptoms and are discovered accidentally during gynecological examination or cesarean section. The cyst will be absorbed and disappear naturally after 4 to 6 weeks. In some individual cases, continued estrogen secretion from the ovarian follicles can cause excessive endometrial hyperplasia and postmenopausal vaginal bleeding, which can cause pseudo-precocious puberty in young girls.

Strickler (1984) reported a case of a 61-year-old woman who had been postmenopausal for 6 years. She had enlarged and tender breasts and elevated blood estradiol. Surgery revealed a left ovarian follicular cyst and endometrial hyperplasia.

I believe you now have an understanding of the causes of follicular cysts, so you must pay attention to these aspects in the future. If you are healthy, you must also take good care of your body, especially not drinking cold things often, because this may cause damage to your uterus and ovaries, which will cause follicular cysts over time.
