So, yesterday I was in the worst pain of my life. I was rushed to the ER in an ambulance. And they told me I had a cyst on my ovary and it had popped. Does this mean I won't be able to have babies?

It is important to determine if you do have it, so that your doctor can prescribe medication to you. It is best to take medications to control the cysts, if you happen to be prone to getting ovarian cysts. You can become infertile later on down the line if you let it get worse. Do not worry though, this could just be a single cyst and is unlikely to affect your fertility. However, since you already had one cyst, you have no way of knowing if there are others, and if you need to control it with medication to prevent any bursts, or even damage to the ovaries. It's best for you to go to your doctor and ask for them to test you for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, just to be sure. [ ciao77's advice column | Ask ciao77 A Question ]

They cannot have babies when they're older unless they take the medication starting now. Don't just take my opinion on it though, ask your doctor. Hope I helped :] [ lalapeep's advice column | Ask lalapeep A Question ]

Cysts are normally small bubbles with cells inside of them. When they're popped and not drained, your body re-absorbs the cells.
Like Jack said, there are many women who have had cysts in their ovaries form, popped, and drained and were able to have kids afterwards.
