Background 
• Ovarian cysts affect women of all ages, but they 
occur more often during a women’s childbearing 
years. 
• Average age in the U.S is 25. 
• Most ovarian cysts are useful in nature and 
harmless (benign).
Organs Involved: Ovary 
• The ovaries are a pair of glands on either 
side of the uterus. They are about 2 cm in 
length and 1 cm in width. 
• Primary reproductive organ
Ovary 
• The gonads of the female 
• Serves two essential functions in female 
reproduction: 
1) Development of the female gametes 
(eggs) 
2) The synthesis and release of steroid 
hormones
Introduction 
• An abnormal growth of ovarian follicular tissue. 
• Two major kinds of ovarian cysts. 
1) Cystic follicles – large fluid-filled sacs formed 
from unovulated follicles 
2) Luteinized cysts – solid masses filled with luteal 
cells
What Is An Ovarian Cyst? 
-Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled 
sacs or pockets within or on the 
surface of an ovary. 
-Women commonly develop 
cysts of different types and 
sizes. 
-Most ovarian cysts present 
little or no discomfort and are 
harmless.
How Are They Detected? 
- A simple cyst is very 
common and often detected 
on routine pelvic or ultrasound 
exam. 
- More complex cysts need 
further evaluation in order for 
doctors to learn more about 
the cysts and their 
management based on their: 
○ Size, structure, timing with 
regard to period and to 
menopause.
What Causes An Ovarian Cyst? 
- During menstrual cycle 
- Ovulation occurs 
- Before egg is released, a 
small cyst forms on the 
ovary 
- Egg goes to uterus to be 
fertilized 
- Cyst disappears
Causes 
-Luteinized cysts and 
Cystic follicles often 
vanish spontaneously 
- However, can persist 
and secrete abnormal 
steroid hormone 
amounts
Causes 
Possible risk factors for developing ovarian cysts: 
- Irregular menstrual cycles 
- Infertility 
- History of previous ovarian cysts 
- Hormonal fluctuation 
- Women in “childbearing” years
Treatments 
• Treatments vary with age, 
type of symptoms, and 
size of cyst. 
• Doctors will first 
recommend to wait and be 
re-examined to see if the 
cyst goes away on its own.
Treatment 
• Doctors will also prescribe 
birth control pills to 
alleviate the pain of 
ovarian cysts. 
• The pills prevent ovulation 
and gives a lower chance 
of new cysts to form.
Treatment 
• If cyst does not go away, 
or it continues to grow, 
doctors will advise to get 
surgery. 
• Laparoscapy 
– Works for smaller cysts 
• Laparotomy 
– Used with larger cysts
Are Ovarian Cysts Cancerous? 
• Two major kinds of ovarian cysts: cystic follicles 
and luteinized cysts 
• Luteinized cysts are benign tumors (non 
cancerous) 
• If cells are unable to control their multiplication 
then the cyst is cancer.
• Metastasis: Some cancer cells can remain in place, if they 
move through the blood or lymphatic system, cancer can 
appear in other parts of the body, which can be fatal. 
• The majority of ovarian cancers are caused by abnormal 
epithelial cells in the surface of the ovary.
• DNA must be replicated before every cell division 
• Copying errors can result in mutations.
Preventions 
● Ovarian cyst cannot be prevented while ovulating. 
There is always chance of acquiring ovarian cyst 
while still ovulating. 
● Just because there is no preventing it doesnt 
mean you cant lower your chances. 
● Stated earlier Birth Control prevents ovulation 
decreasing you chances of getting a cyst, other 
ways to decrease chances are; pregnancy and 
breast feeding in the first six months because they 
pause ovulation and decrease chances of a cyst 
occurring.
Is it Hereditary or Genetic? 
● The answer is both. 
● Most women in their lifetime get an ovarian cyst. 
Hereditary Genetic 
● Family History- If your 
mother or 
grandmother had an 
ovarian cyst or 
ovarian cancer you 
have a higher risk of 
developing one. 
● There are genetic mutations 
that can cause a higher risk 
of development for an 
ovarian cyst. 
● For example: Basal cell 
nevus syndrome is a genetic 
mutation that affects the skin, 
endocrine system, nervous 
system, eyes, and bone. This 
genetic mutation causes 
higher risk of ovarian cyst.
