Follow doc advice: It is normal for a small cyst to develop on the ovaries from time to time. Ovarian cysts are quite common in women during their reproductive years and may be a single cyst or many cysts. Most cysts are benign and only require monitoring. Most are cysts which develops from tissue that changes in the normal process of ovulation. They usually disappear within 6-8 weeks.

Probably not: Ovarian cysts are most usually benign and tend to eradicate themselves. However, if your cyst is that large and is symptomatic, i would follow. It closely.It may have to be removed but they are usually not "deadly" as you put it.
