Functional Ovarian Cysts
📋Overview
Functional ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that develop on the ovaries during the menstrual cycle. They are common and typically benign, arising from normal ovarian follicle development or corpus luteum formation. Functional cysts usually resolve spontaneously without intervention and are distinct from pathological ovarian cysts such as dermoid cysts or cystadenomas.
