What are ovarian cysts?
Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled, sac-like structures within an ovary. The term cyst refers to a fluid-filled structure. Therefore, all ovarian cysts contain at least some fluid.
What symptoms are caused by ovarian cysts?
Most cysts are never noticed and resolve without women ever realizing that they are there. When a cyst causes symptoms, pain in the belly or pelvis is by far the most common one. The pain can be caused from rupture of the cyst, rapid growth and stretching, bleeding into the cyst, or twisting of the cyst around its blood supply.
Your Doctor would have to determine what treatment you would need, most Ovarian cysts will re-absorb into the body although it is possible they can become painful or harmful depending on your situation. The link above should give you the information you need. Good luck!
My sister had a cyst burst inside of her ovary and had to have surgery to remove the entire ovary. You should go to the doctor asap.
