Cause #3: Follicular Cyst
Follicular cysts are benign functional cysts that are filled with fluid. They can develop in or on the ovaries and are commonly seen among women in their reproductive age due to ovulation. Follicular cysts are not seen among postmenopausal women. Follicular cysts are usually painless and asymptomatic.
They usually resolve on their own after a few menstrual cycles. Women who experience symptoms usually present with lower abdominal pain, abdominal bloating, breast tenderness, nausea, vomiting, and changes in the menstrual cycle.
