An ovarian cyst is a fluid-filled sac in or on a person’s ovary. The ovaries are part of the female reproductive system. They produce eggs and hormones.
Ovarian cysts are very common. They often occur during ovulation. This is when the ovary releases an egg each month. These are called functional cysts. Most are noncancerous. Many times, these cysts go away on their own without treatment.
Symptoms of an ovarian cyst
Often, functional cysts do not cause any symptoms. You may have one and not know it. Other times they can cause symptoms, including:
A sharp or dull pain in the lower abdomen, usually on one side
Bloating
Menstrual irregularities
Nausea and vomiting
Feeling full after eating a small amount
Constipation
If you are menopausal and are not having periods, functional cysts shouldn’t form. But it is possible for other types of ovarian cysts to form. Call your doctor if you experience any of the symptoms of an ovarian cyst.
What causes an ovarian cyst?
The most common causes of ovarian cysts include:
Hormonal problems. They can also be caused by hormone-based medicines that help ovulation.
Early pregnancy. It is normal for an ovarian cyst to form during early pregnancy. It helps support the pregnancy until the placenta forms.
Endometriosis. People with a condition called endometriosis can develop a type of ovarian cyst called an endometrioma. This is when endometriosis tissue attaches to the ovary and forms a growth.
Pelvic infections. Severe infections can spread to the ovaries and cause cysts to form.
Polycystic ovary syndrome. This is a disease where the ovaries make many small cysts. It can cause problems with the ovaries and with getting pregnant.
