Many women have cysts on their ovaries and never even know it. Most of the time the cysts re-absorb back into the body but sometimes a cyst can become large and cause abdominal pain. Usually if you give it time the cyst will resolve itself but in some cases it can grow larger and become an aggravating problem with continuing pain.





Your Doctor will probably order an ultrasound to determine the location and size of the cyst and if there is any danger involved.





After those results come back to him, he will recommend the proper treatment.





Most of the time worst case scenario would be for them to do a Laproscopic procedure to remove the cyst if it is problematic or in my case if a cyst bursts inside your ovary, they would have to remove the entire ovary also a very minor surgical procedure.





Try not to worry about it too much until you get more information from your Doctor. What happened to me is extremely rare.





Good luck and God Bless!
Reply:it's a mass on your ovary. They can be large or small. Many women have them. Sometimes they can be treated with birth control pills. They cause pain, especially around your period. They obviously aren't life threatening, or your doc would've taken immediate procedures. It's common in women and nothing to get all worried about. They are uncomfortable but they can be controlled with the pill. Talk to your doc and your mom about getting on the pill.
