General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Normally, for every menstrual cycle, there are several follicles which will start to appear. Only one becomes dominant and ruptures releasing the ovum. Other follicles are usually absorbed back to the tissues. Some might be in the form of cysts and eventually gets absorbed or may rupture.
This is due to hormonal changes which are happening and the response of ovary towards it.
Kindly follow up regularly. You need to take symptomatic treatment in the form of analgesics and practice back exercises to get better.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
