Ovarian cysts are abnormal fluid-filled sacs that may develop on the ovaries. Ovarian cysts are frequent and affect women of all ages. Non-cancerous functional cysts that are often found include follicular cysts that contain eggs or corpus luteal cysts that arise after the egg is released from the follicular cyst. Non-cancerous cysts include cystadenomas, endometriomas, and, in rare cases, non-cancerous teratomas. Ovarian cysts are often asymptomatic. It may be diagnosed on a pelvic examination by a gynecologist or on an ultrasound scan. It may produce symptoms such as stomach pain, bloating, frequent urination, and, in rare cases, irregular patterns of uterine hemorrhage.
