my really good friend from school just found out that she has an assist on one of her ovaries and i am really worried about it. i'm kinda afraid to talk to her about it because we are really good friends and i don't want to lose her. please tell me if you can or not, i am really upset :'(.
if its nothing big and everything can get better will she be able to have children when she gets older?

It's a cyst, and it's very common.
Most ovarian cysts in women of childbearing age are follicular cysts (functional cysts) that disappear naturally in 1-3 months. Although they can rupture (usually without ill effects), they rarely cause symptoms. They are benign and have no real medical consequence. They may be diagnosed coincidentally during a pelvic examination in women who do not have any related symptoms. All women have follicular cysts at some point that generally go unnoticed.

Assist On The Ovaries

A cyst is a fluid-filled sac. In most cases a cyst on the ovary does no harm and goes away by itself. Most women have them sometime during their lives. Cysts are rarely cancerous in women under 50. Cysts sometimes hurt - but not always. Often, a woman finds out about a cyst when she has a pelvic exam.
If you're in your childbearing years or past menopause, have no symptoms, and have a fluid-filled cyst, you may choose to monitor the cyst. You may need surgery if you have pain, are past menopause or if the cyst does not go away. Birth control pills can help prevent new cysts.
A health problem that may involve ovarian cysts is polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Women with PCOS can have high levels of male hormones, irregular or no periods and small ovarian cysts.

To start it's a CYST on the ovary and very rarely can they cause death. They are most often left on the "wait and see" approach because most often they are just reabsorbed back into the body.

First of all, its a cyst and not assist. And no, you dont die from that. It just needs to get removed by surgery before she wants to have kids.

Listen to Rad Tech, I'm an RN, and that is an awesome answer. I imagine the resource provided is good too.

Ask her what kind of cyst it is. If it's a dermoid cyst it will not go away on it's own and she will need to have it surgically removed. It should not affect her future fertility.

She has cysts NOT ASSISTS. How about talking to a doctor about it?
