Ovarian cysts

Ovarian cysts are extremely common. Follicular and corpus luteum cysts – known as functional cysts – typically occur at least once per menstrual cycle and disappear in two or three months. Other types of ovarian cysts, unrelated to the menstrual cycle, are rarer and can lead to complications. These include dermoid cysts, cystadenomas, and endometriomas. Cysts can also rupture, causing severe pain and bleeding. Several risk factors are known to trigger ovarian cysts, including hormonal imbalances, pregnancy, and endometriosis.
This Collection welcomes original research on all aspects of ovarian cysts, including their incidence, etiology, and complications.
