Ovarian cysts are products of failed ovulation for reasons unknown. One or more ovarian follicles are developed monthly by a hormone called the Follicle-Stimulating hormone (FSH). The act of actual ovulation and transformation of the follicle into the corpus luteum after ovulation is done by the Luteinizing hormone (LH). When cysts appear, ovulation did not precede completion. As LH increases with each month’s ovulation, the cyst swells and stretches the surface membrane causing pain and bleeding and the site. Some cysts can continue to swell and become as large as a golf ball before they are discovered.
