Yes: Sports are not generally dangerous for those with an ovarian cyst. However, your symptoms may make it difficult or uncomfortable to play certain sports. Regardless, maintaining a healthy, active lifestyle is encouraged with ovarian cysts.

Yes: It is normal for the ovaries to form cysts. Every woman has an ovarian cyst about 2 centimeters in diameter at the time of ovulation. That cyst may enlarge to as much a 6 or 8 centimeters before gradually going away. On rare occasion one of these cysts may cause enough pain to require treatment (medical or surgical). For the majority of these cysts - time /patience is the only treatment needed.
