When mucus, fluid or tissue becomes trapped, a cyst forms. Nabothian cysts are so common that they're considered to be a normal feature of cervical anatomy. Your doctor might discover one incidentally during a pelvic exam. In general, cervical cysts don't cause symptoms and require no treatment. Your doctor might collect a tissue sample (biopsy) to send for lab testing if a cervical cyst or other lesion looks unusual. Other red flags include abnormal vaginal bleeding, pelvic pain or pain during intercourse.
Ovarian cysts are common and not always a cause for concern. The cyst is a sac of fluid that develops on an ovary. Ovarian cysts may not cause any pain or symptoms. However, larger cysts, or ruptured cysts can be painful and uncomfortable. There are several different types of ovarian cyst. The most common is a functional cyst, which forms during ovulation.
