A member asked:

Everytime i get ultra sounds or scans over the years ever since i was 12 years old they said i have several cysts on my ovaries. is this normal?

Not unusual: Every time your ovaries release an egg it is actually from a small structure that forms a cyst which opens to release it. Some women have a lot more than others that represent other issues. You can discuss it with your doc to see if your level of cycts is more than average.
