Introduction: Non-cancerous ovarian cysts are the most common cysts occurred in women. The main aim of this study was to determine the contributing causes of ovarian cysts among women living in the different parts of Hamedan. Methods: This study was a retrospective study, which was conducted to investigate patients with non-cancerous ovarian cysts during the past 5 years, 2000-2004, in Hamedan. Data were analysed using t and Chi-square test. Results: The distribution of ABO blood group phenotype in women with ovarian cysts was comparable with its normal distribution in the area. Mean ages were 31.94, 31.34 and 32.5 year old for follicular, corpus lutcum, dermoid cysts, respectively. A positive familial history was observed in 30.3% of patients; also, a history of psychological tensions or other stresses was observed in 61.2% of them. There was lower consumption of meat and cereal food groups in patients than standard recommended orders (P<0.05). Conclusion: Occurrence of ovarian cysts was prominent in reproductive age range and genetic ground, psychological stresses and lower consumption of meat and cereal food groups presumably had roles in ovarian cysts occurrence.
