    Ovarian cysts can form due to genetic, immunological, viral, and environmental factors that cause hormonal imbalances and abnormal follicle proliferation in the ovaries. This leads to menstrual irregularities, dull pain in the lower abdomen, and potential cyst rupture causing hemorrhage, infection, and even sepsis. Left untreated, an ovarian cyst may continue growing large enough to put pressure on the abdomen and pelvis.
