Treatment
Functional ovarian cysts usually go away without treatment. Oral contraceptives (birth control pills) may be prescribed to help establish normal cycles and decrease the development of functional ovarian cysts.
Simple ovarian cysts that are larger than 5 to 10 centimeters and complex ovarian cysts that persist should be surgically removed.
