What are the causes of ovarian cysts?
Doctors don’t know the exact cause of ovarian cysts. They are felt by some doctors to be related to emotional trauma or to chronic ongoing stress. Problems with hormone imbalances involving the hypothalamus and/or the pituitary gland may cause these cysts to proliferate. Dominance of estrogen is also believed to be a contributing factor. Remember, estrogen dominance doesn’t have to be related to internally-derived estrogen. Xenohormones contribute to estrogen by providing the body with excess estrogen from external sources like beef containing hormones and chemicals like dioxin.
