Hello,
yes in brief to answer your questions:
1. no
2.yes
3.yes
The way I think about it, it is the job description of the ovary to make cysts. A cyst is the transport and production mechanism for the things that ovaries do. To ovulate, a swelling of clear fluid (cyst)needs to form around the egg which then ruptures to release the egg near the end of the fallopian tube. To make progesterone, a cyst is formed (corpus luteum) which then synthesizes this hormone whose function it is to stabilize and prepare the lining of the uterus to accept a pregnancy. The corpus luteum cyst dissolves if a pregnancy does not happen.
Think about it this way, if cysts are NOT seen on ovaries during the reporductive years, that is abnormal.
best wishes.
Thanks so much for your response. I think the primary thing that was making me nervous was that it was termed a complex cyst. I thought that complex immediately made it abnormal, but now I know that complex cysts can also be functional. You've put my mind more at ease. Thanks again for your help; I think it's wonderful that you take the time to do this. Have a wonderful day!
My question is will a a corpus luteum cyst prevent pregnancy? I want to become pregnant and have discovered that I have a cyst on my left ovary and I'm concerned that this is why I haven't became pregnant. It was discovered during a ultrasound and it went away on it's own but I found out I have another one same place as before.
