Some flagellates form cysts while some do not. For example, the trichomonads that include trichomonas vaginalis and trichomonas hominis do not form cysts. Gardia lamblia, another flagellate, causes diarrhea in giardiasis and does not form cysts.
Ovarian cysts don't move. New cysts, however, can form.

flagellates
Flagellates, unicellular eukaryotes, use their flagella for transportation.
Flagellates are commonly known as whip-like protozoans due to their characteristic flagella, which they use for movement.
Termites have a symbiotic relationship with intestinal flagellates, which are microorganisms living in their gut. The flagellates help termites digest cellulose, a key component of wood, by breaking it down into simpler compounds the termites can absorb. In return, the flagellates receive a stable environment and a constant food source from the termite's diet.
The cysts that appear during the regular activity of the ovaries are called functional cysts.
Flagellates have flagella, which are tails, that help them move. A flagellum is a bundled microtubule tail that propels them through liquid.
Flagellates are a diverse group of organisms belonging to various taxonomic groups. The term "flagellates" refers to a type of organism that possesses one or more whip-like appendages called flagella, which are used for movement. Flagellates can be found in different groups, such as protists, bacteria, and algae.
