What does physiologic cyst mean?

Physiologic cysts, which are usually found in women, are ovarian cysts that appear in the ovaries due to changes in estrogen levels in the body. Normal female ovaries will experience follicular growth, development, maturation, and ovulation under the stimulation of estrogen during different physiological cycles. A physiologic cyst is a cystic mass that appears on the ovary due to changes in estrogen levels, mostly due to the fact that some of the corpus luteum formed after ovulation does not atrophy, resulting in the formation of a cyst. Generally, the size of the cyst can change with the menstrual cycle, commonly found in women of childbearing age during ovulation, and can subside on its own. If the above symptoms occur, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time, under the guidance of the doctor to avoid delaying the condition.
