There is nothing to be terrified dear. First of all, it does not need an operation. One in five women of your age would have similar cysts in the ovaries if all were to undergo an ultrasound. Only seeing a cystic ovary on ultrasound does not mean that you have a serious disorder. More would depend on whether your cycles are irregular, you have excess hair growth on your body and if you were overweight. With this combination you may be suffering from the polycystic ovary syndrome. Even if this condition is diagnosed you can be treated with appropriate medicines and surgical management is rarely indicated for young girls.
