What does it mean to have an ovarian cyst?

I know what an ovarian cyst is, I want to know what comes with having one? I just had my appendix out and after I had my cat scan the surgeon said I have an ovarian cyst. I have always had some pain around the time of my period, but is that about it?
hello! I was in your boat last year. I had an ovarian cyst that was approx. 2cm, which is fairly large… it ruptured and i had one dime size drop of blood on the toilet paper from it, and then continual pain into the next day… similar to cramps but you know its not cramps. Many many women have ovarian cysts, most dont even know of them- they appear- they rupture and then they are gone… sometimes they cause people problems and they need to be removed (depending on the size) thats why if they are found, if you have a decent doctor they will tell you that it needs to be monitored for growth. If it grows to large it might have to be surgically removed.
good luck! hope this helps
just means that there is a cycst on your ovary. It could be because a egg is being released or it could be when it comes out adn it fills with blood. THey arent bad but see the gyn to see what happens.
It just depends on how bad the cyst is. I had one when I was about 17 and I was doubled over crying in pain. Then there have been times when my friends had them and felt no pain at all. Trust me, if you have bad one you will know.
