So many women suffer from ovarian cysts and would give anything for the removal of ovarian cysts that lasts forever.

The follicle that produces the hormones necessary to encourage the egg to release does not form properly. Fluid accumulates in the sealed off sac and becomes a cyst. They are known as "functional" cysts because they develop during a woman's normal cycle.A complex ovarian cyst is a cyst that is filled with both solid and liquid contents. There are three different types of complex cysts and each form in a different way. The symptoms and the treatment are also unique to each type.Dermoid CystsA Dermoid cyst is a complex cyst that develops from the actual cells that create the egg and are therefore capable of developing the tissue that makes up the human body.
