If you notice swelling, other symptoms, or tenderness around the cyst, wait. If you feel pain or other discomfort when you touch the cyst, contact your healthcare provider. Functional cysts often disappear on their own within a few cycles. The cysts may be monitored by ultrasounds every one to three cycles to determine if the cysts are getting smaller or not. A fairly minor cyst attacks within about seven to 10 weeks and eventually respond for no more than three days. For more severe cysts, wait another three days. Once your cyst has diminished, it will go away, but surgery may be necessary. There are many questions to ask before deciding whether to wait.
