They are best diagnosed with an ultrasound and appear to have thin walls and be fluid-filled. Follicular cysts can range widely in size but are usually small (less than 3cm in diameter), although they can grow to as large as 10cm in diameter (the size of a grapefruit).
A mature follicle is a follicle ready for ovulation, meaning, the egg inside it is developed and ready to be released (with the hopes of fertilization taking place). A follicle will typically release (ovulate) when it reaches maturity size. Maturity is considered 18-24mm on non-medicated cycles and 15mm+ for medicated cycles. What your doctor was saying was that as best she could tell, you have one--possibly two--follies that are quickly reaching maturity... 15mm.
