What are overian cysts?

Usually normal: Ovarian cysts form as the eggs in your ovaries mature. Many women have monthly pain associated with this process but it's generally benign. Sometimes you can have abnormal growth of cysts, such as in polycystic ovarian syndrome. If you are having problems with ovarian cysts, you need to see your gyn right away.

Ovarian Cysts: An ovarian cyst is a fluid filled sac on or in the ovary. Some cysts are normal. Each month women make a cyst on the ovary which contains an egg and we it a follicle. The follicle releases the egg and if you do not get pregnant then the process starts over the next month. Other cysts are abnormal and they can be non-cancerous (endometriosis, dermoid) or cancerous. I hope this helps.
