There are several types of ovarian cysts, including:
- Follicular cysts: These are the most common type of ovarian cyst and occur when a follicle (the sac that contains an egg) fails to release the egg.
- Corpus luteum cysts: These cysts form after the release of an egg from the ovary.
- Endometriomas: These cysts are filled with endometrial tissue, the tissue that lines the inside of the uterus.
- Dermoid cysts: These cysts are filled with tissues such as hair, skin, and fat.
