This is normal: Cysts on the ovaries are normal and come and go all the time. They represent small immature eggs and usually regress while a few will continue on to ovulation. Multiple cysts can be associated with other problems, and if a cyst gets too big it can be a problem. Otherwise, if your periods are regular and you have no other symptoms, you need not worry just because they are there.

Normal: Normal ovarian function requires cysts.Eggs develop in cysts known as follicles which rupture and release the ripe or mature egg at ovulation.This is known as a follicle cyst.Several eggs start developing,one becomes the dominate follicle and the others just go away.After ovulation the spot where the egg grew develops a corpus luteum,another type of cyst, that produces progesterone .Hope this help
