In some women, a fluid filled sac develops on their ovaries and this is ovarian cyst. In the normal circumstances, ovarian cysts are small and harmless and they dissolve on their own. These cysts do not show any symptoms also.
Truth is that sometimes these ovarian cysts would burst, cause pain and would bleed etc resulting in the medical emergency. When these ovarian cysts appear during the reproductive years of a woman then it would be harmless but when they appear during menopause then they could become cancerous over time. It has been brought to light by WHO that there are now 11.9cases of ovarian cancer per 100,000 females in India. Three types of ovarian cysts are ovulatory cysts, benign cysts and malignant cysts.
There are many issues that cysts would cause in women and these are vomiting, nausea, severe pelvic pain etc.
