If an ovarian cyst produces estrogen or progesterone hormones, it is called a functional cyst. Functional cysts act as natural hormonal contraception by preventing ovulation. Functional cyst usually persists 2-3 months and then fertility is established again. If there are a lot of small cysts in both ovaries, you might be experiencing polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). During PCOS, fertility is compromised and requires therapy and treatment.
