As a part of the female reproductive system, ovaries help produce eggs and female hormones Estrogen and Progesterone. Ovarian cysts refer to fluid-filled sacs that develop within or on the ovary. These are usually harmless and go away without intervention within a few months. However, a large ovarian cyst size can cause ruptures or twists, which can cause severe discomfort.

What Causes Ovarian Cysts?

The common causes of Ovarian cysts are hormonal problems, Endometriosis and pelvic infections and the most common type of cysts - known as the Functional cysts - are form during the menstrual cycle and are known as:

  • Follicle Cysts: Follicle Cysts form when a follicle fills with fluid and grows bigger instead of releasing an egg.
