Cysts are fluid-filled, small, sac-like structures. They can cause infertility, irregular the menstruableeding and changes in the body.
Causes for Polycystic ovaries Disease
Some of the reasons that can cause polycystic ovaries disease include:
- High levels of testosterone: increased release of male hormones can prevent the release of an egg from the ovaries during the ovulation process.
- High levels of luteinising hormone: the elevated levels of LH hormone can also affect the ovaries and the release of an egg during the menstruacycle.
- High levels of prolactin: Prolactin is a hormone that stimulates the breast cells to produce milk. This can also cause PCOD symptoms
- High level of insulin: excess insulin release from the gland can affect the ovary functions to ovulate and release the egg.
- Low level of sex hormones:
Overweight: obesity increases the chances for insulin resistance,which in turn affects the ovulation process.
