What exactly are ovarian cysts?

Are they tumors ?...sounds scary.
Answer:
Ovarian cysts are fluid filled sacs on your ovaries. They are common, sometimes painful, but by no means dangerous. Some women have them removed if they grow or they are chronic. They tend to flair up around certain points in your cycle. You may notice funny looking discharge, or pain on one side vs. the other. The reason for the funny discharge is that when the cysts burst, (some contain pus or blood) your body with either absorb it, or it will drain. Don't be scared, I get them all the time. But DO keep in touch with your doctor to make sure that there isn't anything else going on :)
it's a pump on your ovary that's suppose to go away and if it doesnt then it grows and pop and you will be in terrible pain i dont know if it can kill you
there are different types of cyst, it is like a pimple that is filled with liquid or other substance, they are not tumors
