Hi,
Cysts are benign lumps and are usually left alone.The pain might increase when your menstruation is due and then subside when your cycle is over.
However,if the cyst is causing you too much pain,you can certainly ask your doctor to have it aspirated.
Cysts do not turn into cancer.
Try to avoid caffeine (Coffee,chocolate,colas) and also to limit your salt intake to lessen  the pain you are feeling.
Take care and I hope that you'll feel better soon.
