These are caused by excessive physiological reactions due to endocrine disorders, insufficient secretion of luteinizing hormone, drug stimulation, etc.

Most ovarian cysts are non-neoplastic cysts, and their diameter rarely exceeds 5 cm. These cysts are not tumors, and most of them are benign and can resolve on their own without surgery.
