There are various types of benign ovarian cysts, but one type occurs when a mature follicle develops, fails to rupture, and is maintained. Although typically such a cyst eventually regresses within a couple of months, it can persist and produce symptoms resembling pregnancy, with missed menstrual periods. Such symptoms are most likely due to a. mistaken development of the embryo inside the ovary, known as ectopic pregnancy b. sustained levels of estrogen and progesterone, which prevent endometrial loss. c. elevation of normally low levels of testosterone, producing endometrial atrophy d. low progesterone levels, leading to high FSH and LH, this suppressing menstruation. e. elevation of normally low levels of progesterone, producing myometrial hypertrophy.
