Ovarian cysts mostly are formed naturally if you are having monthly periods. It can also be caused if you have been through the menopause. In case of functional cysts, the follicle (egg formed inside the ovary) bursts when the egg comes out of it. Sometimes, the egg is not released and the fluid is not discharged and in such cases, the follicle can swell and become a cyst.
