It depends on the type of cyst. I know that some cysts will eventually just burst and go away. When they burst, there is a high likelihood that it will cause pain and a dark red discharge. This is something that needs to be discussed with your OBGYN for a better understanding.

If ovarian torsions are diagnosed and treated early, then the prognosis is favorable. However, if diagnosis is delayed, the torsions can worsen and cut off arterial blood flow into and venous blood flow out of the ovary.

While many arachnoid cysts cause no symptoms and require no treatment, others, if left untreated, can grow and cause pressure or severe bleeding within the brain (hemorrhage). The result can be permanent neurological damage.

Those who have symptoms run a risk of neurological damage if the cysts continue to compress nerve structures over time. Individuals who undergo neurosurgery to remove the cysts usually have an excellent outcome, with no cyst recurrence.
