Functional Ovarian Cysts
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
When discomfort appears in the pelvis or changes in the menstrual cycle, a gynecologic exam helps clarify their origin. Functional ovarian cysts are accumulations of fluid that form in the ovary as part of the normal reproductive cycle and, in most cases, disappear on their own over time.
Common signs: many times they cause no symptoms; when present, they may include discomfort or pressure on one side of the lower abdomen and irregularities in the period.
Common causes: they are related to the natural process of ovulation and to the hormonal changes typical of the menstrual cycle.
Which specialist evaluates them? The gynecologist is the one who studies their progression and decides whether they require follow-up. If you experience persistent pelvic pain or menstrual changes that concern you, it is advisable to discuss it with a professional.
