What a cyst is
An ovarian cyst is a fluid-filled sac in or on an ovary. Many are common and resolve without treatment; others need monitoring or further assessment.
Before deciding on treatment
Ask what the scan suggests, whether a repeat scan is needed and how an operation could affect ovarian tissue. Sudden severe pelvic pain, especially with nausea or vomiting, needs urgent medical assessment.
