∙ 11y agoNo, 95% of the time ovarian cysts are not cancerous. By definition a cyst is a sac or an enclosure filled with fluid, not necessarily blood or water. But the diagnosis usually depends on the size of the cyst and the symptoms shown by the patient. So my advice would be to seek immediate medical attention. Wish you all the best.
