ovarian cyst

I went to the E.R for pain in my right side, heavy bleeding (had been spotting for 2 weeks). They did blood work and my white cell count was 18000. They then ordered a ct scan and stated I have ovarian cyst on both sides. Is there a connection to the high white cell count and my cysts. The doctor seemed very concerned about the white cell count and stated i must have some kind of infection and led me to believe they were not connected.
I also suffer from endometriosis and adhesions. I have an appt w/cyno on fri for a hystorectomy consult.

If you had a cyst rupture, or simply have a hemorrhagic cyst, then it is possible that the fluids leaking into your abdomen have caused an infection.

so i don't have to worry that a high white cell count may be linked to ovarian cancer?

Thanks for your help
