    Not Necessarily. Cysts are fairly common. They usually go away on there own. Sometimes surgery is needed. Only a doctor can tell her if it's cancerous, by doing a biopsy.

    Hi, mommyjess!

    Greetings and WELCOME to the site! I just moved your question that you had posted in Introductions to this forum topic area so that it will get the most exposure to those who are best able to answer it. Introductions is for people to introduce themselves and we try to not ask questions there.

    It can be a little confusing when first learning how to use this site! Your question will get noticed much more in this forum topic area.

    We would appreciate it if you would return to Introductions sometime to tell us a little about yourself though, if you would be willing to do that.

    I do note, that you already received a couple of responses while your question was in Introductions.

    Thanks!

    Ovarian cyst a very normal and they vary in size, there are 3 types of cyst and they can contain either water, blood or they can also be cancers. You would need to visit your doc and have an ultrasound to have a look at them if they are disrupting your quality of life.
