A member asked:

Took my 13 year old daughter to the hospital and the dr. said she had cysts on her ovaries. could this to something worse that i should be worried about?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

This is common: The ovaries will often contain many small <1in cysts that can persist through life. Occasionally one will rupture & produce some abdominal discomfort, buy they are generally benign. I would not worry that they are pre-cancerous or a sign of infertility in the future.
