📋Overview
Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that develop on or within an ovary. The term encompasses various types of cysts, most commonly functional cysts related to the menstrual cycle. Ovarian cysts are common and often benign, with many resolving spontaneously. The condition is distinct from ovarian tumors or cancer, although some cysts may require further evaluation to exclude malignancy.
