Higher doses of "bad estrogen" are called estradiol. Although the general levels of all estrogens are low, the balance between "good" [estriol] and bad estrogen is usually not optimal.

Are they a link between overweight and ovarian cysts? How does obesity affect the body to produce ovarian cysts or aggravate ovarian cysts? The answer to the previous question is definitely yes.

Many years ago, science believed that fat was just a layer of grease that formed under our skin. In other words, fat is obese, except that it makes us look ugly, it has no other effect on the body.

Today, science has discovered that adipose tissue [fat] can be classified as an organ or functional tissue. Simply put, fat has many functions and produces different chemicals that affect the body in a variety of ways.

An example is a diabetic patient who has multiple fatty livers. Fatty liver occasionally causes cirrhosis of the liver and sometimes liver cancer. why? Because adipose tissue produces chemicals that cause inflammation. Persistent inflammation can damage tissue [cirrhosis] and can lead to cancer.

It is also known that adipose tissue produces various hormones, especially estrogens. So this is the link. Excessive adipose tissue produces hormones that stimulate ovarian cysts, fibroids, fibrocystic disease, and endometriosis.

Another important correlation between obesity and ovarian cysts is that the diet and lifestyle of overweight people are often a predisposing factor for ovarian cysts.

Therefore, ovarian cysts can also be prevented by avoiding lifestyles that promote weight gain. Habits such as:

Lack of exercise

from

2. Too many calories in the diet
