How do you prevent follicular ovarian cysts?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Ovarian follicles: Many ovarian follicles or cysts are normal. This is where a egg is released from during ovulation. A follicle needs to grow to about 2 CM for a mature egg to be released. Sometimes a cyst can burst or bleed and this may cause sudden onset of pain.
