Are ovarian cysts and polycystic ovaries the same?

Ovarian cysts are caused by long-term dietary structure, poor living habits, excessive psychological stress and other factors that cause excessive acidification of the physique. The decline in body function causes kidney deficiency and liver-kidney homeostasis, which in turn causes a slowing down of metabolic circulation, resulting in ovarian disease and endocrine disorders and a decrease in immune function, which develops into abnormal ovarian tissue proliferation, leading to ovarian cysts and even cancer. The exact etiology of polycystic ovary syndrome is unknown, but it is currently believed that the ovaries produce too much estrogen and that the excess production of androgens is due to the synergistic effect of abnormal function of multiple endocrine systems in the body. The difference between ovarian cysts and polycystic ovaries is that the symptoms are different. Ovarian cysts are mostly clinically manifested as abdominal pain, abdominal discomfort, increased leucorrhea, yellowish leucorrhea, leucorrhea odor, menstrual disorders, and usually a firm and painless lump in the abdomen. When the ovary affects hormone production, symptoms such as irregular vaginal bleeding may occur, and when the cyst is twisted, there is severe abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, and fever. Larger cysts can cause pressure near the bladder, causing frequent urination and difficulty urinating. Women have a high likelihood of developing ovarian cysts. The risk of malignant ovarian cancer is then high. The clinical manifestations of polycystic ovaries vary in severity and occur mostly in women between the ages of 20 and 40 during their reproductive years. In a typical patient with polycystic ovary syndrome, the main manifestations are: first, menstrual disorders, thinning of menstruation after menarche and secondary amenorrhea, i.e. anovulatory uterine bleeding; second, infertility. Marriage with infertility is mainly caused by menstrual disorders and anovulation; third, hirsutism, abundant body hair, male distribution of pubic hair; oily skin, acne; fourth, obesity; fifth, bilateral ovarian enlargement; sixth, acanthosis nigricans, symmetrical gray-brown, pigmented skin on the back of the neck, axillae, breasts, and lower groin.
