No, usually ovarian cysts come and go without any symptoms at all.

There is a rare chance that this one will be different and you will need surgery, but that is very rare. Many women have cysts that just come and go. If you get on birth control, that will help prevent them in the future.

ovarian cysts can cause a great deal of complications. Especially because of the fact that most ladies find out that they have developed ovarian cysts, much later, or because the ovarian cysts that have been developed are of a type that is rare or not easily identifiable. Other than this, it has been seen that in most cases, when ovarian cysts are developed after the stage of menopause or at a very late age then there are higher chances that the ovarian cyst my be cancerous, in the sense that it may be malignant.

Ovarian cysts form for numerous reasons. The most common type is a follicular cyst, which results from the growth of a follicle. A follicle is the normal fluid-filled sac that contains an egg. Follicular cysts form when the follicle grows larger than normal during the menstrual cycle and does not open to release the egg. Usually, follicular cysts resolve on their own over the course of days to months. Cysts can contain blood (hemorrhagic or endometrioid cysts) from injury or leakage of tiny blood vessels into the egg sac. Occasionally, the tissues of the ovary develop abnormally to form other body tissues such as hair or teeth. Cysts with these abnormal tissues are called dermoid cysts.
