Will an ovarian cyst go away on its own?

Functional ovarian cysts will generally disappear on their own, but pathological ovarian cysts will not disappear on their own. You should seek medical attention in a timely manner and choose the appropriate treatment method under the guidance of a doctor.

1. Yes: Functional cysts are cysts formed when the follicles do not rupture during ovulation. They are usually benign and most will disappear on their own in about a month without requiring treatment. This type of cyst usually does not cause symptoms and is only discovered accidentally during a pelvic ultrasound examination.

2. No: Pathological cysts are cysts caused by other diseases, such as endocrine disorders, polycystic ovary syndrome, etc. This type of cyst usually requires treatment measures according to the specific situation, such as drug treatment, surgical resection, etc. Pathological cysts will not disappear on their own and need to be treated in time to avoid complications.

Most functional cysts will disappear on their own in about a month, while pathological cysts need to be treated according to the cause and symptoms. If a cyst is found or there are related symptoms, it is recommended to see a doctor in time for detailed examination and diagnosis to determine the nature of the cyst and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
