What causes infection in ovarian cysts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bacteria: Ovarian cyst don't get infected by themselves. A torsed ovary that is necrotic/dying can become infected, but most if the time a tubo-ovarian abscess is caused by sexually transmitted diseases like gonorrhea and chlamydia.
