Question 3

what causes ovarian dermoid cysts?

Accepted Answer

Not known!: Hello, 
we don't know why ovaries make their cysts.  Seems that they are a very active organ, what with making eggs and hormones, and sometimes the egg-making cells just overgrow and become a dermoid cyst, complete with hair, skin, and other cells that the 'germ cell' (egg producing cell) has in it's potential.
Wierd, huh!
they are benign, but don't go away without surgery, and can be recurrent.

Question 4

what causes recurring ovarian cysts?

Accepted Answer

Hormones: During each menstrual cycle, the ovary produces a few small cysts known as follicles (normal) .  Most times, one of these follicles will enlarge and ovulate an egg (it ruptures), while the others go away.  Sometimes this rupture may not occur due to a lack of signaling by the body's hormones, and the cyst continues to develop through subsequent menstrual cycles.

Question 5

what causes an ovarian cyst to calcify?

Accepted Answer
