4 Endometriomas The cysts occur when the endometrial lining (inner lining of the uterus) grows outside the uterus. The cysts are usually filled with reddish-brown blood. They mostly grow on ovaries and the muscular wall of the uterus and may affect fertility.

6 Few types of ovarian cysts don t affect your fertility unless they become big such as Functional cysts Cystadenomas Dermoid cysts
