Understanding Ovarian Cysts
Ovarian cysts are common and can occur at any stage of a woman’s reproductive life. They may be discovered during routine gynecological examinations or when a woman seeks medical care for symptoms.
Common Types of Ovarian Cysts
- Functional ovarian cysts

Most cysts are non-cancerous, but proper evaluation is essential to determine the need for treatment or surgical removal.
