Follicular cysts are generally detected during a normal pelvic exam, when the doctor will feel a lump on the ovary. The doctor then orders an ultrasound, which will confirm what kind of cyst it is. If it is filled with fluid and looks like a bubble, it’s considered a functional cyst. If it is solid, it’s another type of cyst which the doctor will order additional treatment for, usually surgery.
