Hemorrhagic cyst: A hemorrhagic ovarian cyst is usually the result of bleeding into a functional cyst, such as during ovulation with a follicle. The majority of hemorrhagic cysts resolve completely within two menstrual cycles, and do not affect a woman's fertility. A few types of ovarian cysts can affect a woman's ability to ovulate, such as with polycystic ovarian syndrome, which can affect a woman's fertility.

No: Most ovarian cysts are functional(physiologic) and arise from either a maturing follicle that didn't release an egg or from the corpus luteum. Most will resolve on their own. Hemorrhage into a corpus luteal cyst is common and usually self limiting. Functional cysts don't interfere with fertility unless they get very large. Occasionally cysts can rupture and cause internal bleeding.

Difficult to tell: "A hemorrhagic ovarian cyst" may be "suspected" based on clinical and sonographic criteria and is a presumptive diagnosis requiring follow-up/confirmation which your gynecologist and sonographer can explain to you. If the diagnosis is correct, such cyst is usually a temporary and transient consequence of recent ovulation; it will usually disappear without sequellae but may or may not recur
