1. What Is an Ovarian Cyst?
A cyst is a sac that develops in the body and fills with fluid or debris. Ovarian cysts form inside or on the surface of an ovary and are very common. During the menstrual cycle, a cyst may form due to hormonal changes.
In many cases, ovarian cysts do not cause any symptoms and are only found during routine screening. These cysts usually go away without any intervention within a few months. However, some ovarian cysts can cause painful symptoms and complications.
