Hello dear
Understand your concern.
Yes cyst in ovary can cause irregular period and cramps.
It is called polycystic ovarian syndrome.
Main reason is hormonal imbalance.
Ovary produce excess androgen that interfere with growth of ovarian follicle and ovulation.Also there is increased LH, estrone, testosterone and also there is insulin resistance.
So anovulation and menstrual irregularity may produce back cramp.

Better to consult the gynecologist and do necessary investigations like:
Hormonal analysis
USG
Ovarian follicle study
Blood sugar and insulin.

Advice
Tablet meftal spas
Oral contraceptive pill used to regular the period: progesterone suppress LH and oestrogen improve SHGB and reduce the free testosterone.
Maintain weight
Start regular exercise for 45 minutes in early morning.

Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
