Hiya, I was told cysts become much more common as we get older - not just in ovaries, but breasts etc as well. Because ovarian cysts produce progesterone they interupt your normal periods (which is why your periods are off). They commonly form from the sac which released the egg at ovulation. In order to get your periods back on track, they have to remove the cyst (its the only way) and hence the most likely reason why you've been referred.
