Quite Common: Ovaries cyclically have cysts that enlarge and diminish in size. It's a normal process. Unless it's more than 4 cm, in which case we usually recommend a 6 week follow up, they are quite common and considered physiological (as opposed to pathological). If they continue to grow, then further steps may need to be taken.
