Can Hemorrhagic Cyst Be Caused Due To An Accident?
Hi I had a car accident in January 2013. I took an MRI in march due to back, hip, and neck pain. A hemorrhagic cyst was found in my left ovary. I have never had this diagnosis befor and I'm 43. By Oct it had grown to the size of a peach. It burst and was not cancerous.
I,m curious if this could have been caused by the car accident as all of my injuries are down the left side of my body.
Is that possible?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
There are different potential causes for ovarian cysts but trauma is not a known cause.
The risk factors that increase of developing ovarian cysts are: smoking, hypothyroidism, tamoxifen, tubal ligation, infertility treatments,pregnancy.
In some persons no specific cause can be isolated.
I hope this helps
