I think you are refering to ovarian cysts, which are usually a common and harmless swelling of one or both ovaries!. These cysts most often occur in women who are between puberty and menopause, when the ovaries are in high gear propelling out mature eggs!. The term functional means the cyst is not caused by any underlying disease or disorder, and that it will possibly resolve (shrink and disappear) on its own in a few weeks!.

Some functional ovarian cysts have no symptoms and are discovered, if at all, during routine pelvic exams!. Others can cause symptoms, including changes in the menstrual cycle, including shorter or longer periods, skipped periods, and/or spotting between periods, pelvic pain or ache, especially during sexual intercourse or at the start or finish of menstruation, feelings of nausea or queasiness or breast tenderness!.

Functional, or physiological, ovarian cysts usually disappear within 8-12 weeks without treatment!. They are relatively common, and are more common during a woman's childbearing years (puberty to menopause)!. Ovarian cysts are rare after menopause!.

Functional ovarian cysts are not the same as ovarian tumors (including ovarian cancer) or cysts due to hormone-related conditions such as polycystic ovarian disease!. Some non-functional ovarian cysts must be treated to go away!.

Simple ovarian cysts that are larger than 5-10 centimetres and complex ovarian cysts that persist should and will usually be surgically removed via laparoscopy (minimal invasive surgery)!.

There are many other types of cysts that both males and females can get that include the following types of cysts:

Some of the different types of cysts include:

* Arachnoid cyst - the arachnoid membrane covers the brain!. A baby may be born with an arachnoid cyst!. It is caused by the arachnoid membrane doubling up or splitting to form an abnormal pocket of cerebrospinal fluid!. This can be treated by surgical drainage if necessary!.

* Bartholin
