3. Corpus Luteum Cyst
Another type of cyst that may develop in women is known as a corpus luteum cyst. It is also related to the menstrual cycle. An area of tissue in the ovary, which is called the corpus luteum occurs when the egg has been released from the follicle.
If a woman does not become pregnant, the corpus luteum will typically break down and simply disappear. However, there are times when it may fill with blood or fluid and stay as a cyst on the ovary. Typically, this type of cyst will only be found on one side and will typically not cause a woman to experience any type of symptoms.
This is another type of cyst that will often simply resolve on its own and not require any type of medical intervention. If you experience pain on one side and it does not go away after a day or so, talk to your doctor.
