Are ovarian cysts common in teenagers?

Question

I'm 16 and haven't had a period in almost 8 months and I'm worried about cysts. How do I know if I have them? I'm 5'3 and around 100 pounds, what are some other possibilities?

Answer 1

To find out for sure if you has a cyst you would need to see your doctor for further evaluation of the situation, such as to see if a hormone imbalance could be going on to cause the period not occurring for almost a year.
