Ovarian cyst: A cyst (follicle) ruptures each month as you ovulate. Sometimes, especially when you are athletic, the follicle (cyst) that contains the egg that you should ovulate grows bigger and the egg inside stops developing. The cyst ruptures and causes pain. If the cyst is large, it an also twist and may lead to you losing the ovary. Getting the cyst drained or removed would reduce your risks.
