There are several types of ovarian cysts, including:
Follicular cysts: These form when the follicle doesn't release an egg and continues to grow. Corpus luteum cysts: These occur when the follicle releases an egg and then reseals and fills with fluid. Dermoid cysts: These contain various tissues like hair, skin, or teeth. Cystadenomas: These develop from ovarian tissue and can become quite large. Endometriomas: These result from endometriosis and contain old blood.
