    This document discusses the pathophysiology of ovarian cysts. It outlines modifiable lifestyle factors and non-modifiable hereditary factors that can increase risk. The key physiological process described is abnormal proliferation of ovarian follicles, where they fail to ovulate or undergo atresia and instead continue growing into large cysts of up to 15cm in diameter, which puts the individual at risk of rupture and potential infection due to a decreased immune system response.
