Depends: Ovarian lesions must be treated with care. Ovarian cancers are often silent. Your age is important. Benign cyst more common in younger patients. Cysts are more worrisome in older woman. Your cyst is not a simple cyst and therefore it must be further characterized by follow up, other studies or biopsy. It may be a hemorrhagic cyst but you need to investigate further.

20 cm?: I'm going to ask to clarify are you certain you mean 20 cm or do you mean 20 mm? The former is about the size of a softball, the latter more like a golf ball. If you mean 20 cm this can be an emergency requiring surgery, you need to see your doctor ASAP. If the latter (the small one ) there is no emergency but you need a doctor to follow it.
