When is a cyst considered 'big' and at what point does it cause problems?

[marie79]

About two weeks ago I first noticed my cyst during intercourse (it HURT).  After that, I had constant pain around my left ovary and had some cramping for a few days as well.  I went to my gynecologist and they did an ultrasound, which showed that I had a fluid filled cyst.  They said it was 2 cm. and prescribed me Progesterin to reduce the size of the cyst.  I am supposed to go back in a month to see if the cyst has gone away.  In the meantime, I am still having some pain.  I am starting to wonder if the cyst could be damaging my ovary (I only have one).  At what point is a cyst considered "big"?  Is 2 cm. small for a cyst?  Also, when can a cyst start damaging the ovary and fallopian tube?

Thank you all for any help you can give me.  I am starting to worry...and when I am in the Dr's office, all of a sudden I become stupid and can't think of any questions.  :)

If you are still having your monthly cycle, most likely your cyst
ins functional, or simple.  A cyst can be compared to a blister with fluid inside, and will most likely go away on it's own.  If you however do not have your monthly cycle anymore then you probably want to followup with your doctor as presribed already.
I recently had a Hemmorragic cyst inside my ovary that ruptured, and my ovary is ok.  By the way I only one ovary left, and it's working just fine.
