Is there a difference between mature follicle and simple/follicular cyst

Hi, I had an ultrasound due to pain which showed an hemorrhagic cyst on my left ovary and a mature follicle on the right ovary (I ovulated 11 days before the scan) I am now wondering is a mature follicle a simple fluid filled cyst with potential to grow or is it a follicle that will release the egg and reabsorb as normal (the hemorrhagic cyst is 3.4cm and the mature follicle is 3cm) ide expect more pain on my left but it's all on my right and in my back too

It's my understanding that a mature follicle is one that's ready for ovulation. Sometimes pain can be "referred" to different part of the body.
