QUESTION

In cattle, nymphomanic condition is linked with?

OPTIONS

(A) Follicular cyst
(B) Luteal cyst
(C) Both luteal and follicular cyst
(D) None of the above

ANSWER

(A) Follicular cyst

EXPLANATION

An estrogenically active follicular cyst can produce prolonged or recurrent irregular estrous behavior, traditionally called nymphomania. Luteal cysts contain luteinized tissue and usually produce progesterone, making anestrus more characteristic. Thus, grouping luteal and follicular cysts together as the characteristic cause is inappropriate. Not every follicular cyst causes nymphomania, but it is the classical association among these choices.
