What Does an Ovarian Cyst Feel Like?

1. Types of Ovarian Cysts
The most common type of ovarian cysts are functional cysts, which include follicle cysts and corpus luteum cysts. Follicle cysts form during menstruation if an ovum develops into a sac and does not leave the ovaries. This causes fluid to collect inside the sac and form a cyst. On the other hand, corpus luteum cysts form when the sac does not dissolve. This leads to the accumulation of more fluid inside the follicle, thereby forming a cyst. Other types of cysts include dermoid cysts, cystadenomas, and endometriomas.
