Can An Ovarian Cyst Turn Into Ovarian Cancer?

I think I understand the fact that each month, an egg is released, thus causing menstruation; and sometimes, the egg isn't passed (gets stuck onto the ovary), causing an ovarian cyst. But my question is, can an ovarian cyst turn into/cause ovarian cancer?

Yes, cysts can be cancerous. If you think you or anyone has one and have never been diagnosed with them, I would make a call. They probably won't do much, but it's good to go. They will usually say the size of the cyst and if it needs to be removed or not. Most don't need removed, they go away on their own.

I don't think so. My mom has that, and the doctors don't seem to worried about it. She gets them more if she drinks a lot of caffeine, so she's advised to avoid it.

She is in a lot of pain from them though, but she's had them since i was a little kid, and the doctors haven't done anything.....so likely not, but maybe there are different kinds?

i believe that yes so cysts can become cancerous. You should get that checked out if you have it, but dont panic, just go to the doctors. thats the best thing to do.

yes-more so if there is history of cancer in family-keep pap smears up to date

Yes, if not treated.

I think
