Hi Mia'sMummy,

Sounds like your dr is talking about polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). I have it too, with lots of cysts on my right ovary but none on my left due to an unrelated dermoid in my left ovary. "Hairiness" or hirsuitism is a symptom of PCOS as is weight gain. Acne, hair loss, infrequent or no periods, irregular or anovulation are also symptoms. You don't need to have all of them though to have PCOS. I don't have a weight problem for example.

Hope this helps.
