You can’t depend on symptoms alone to tell you if you have an ovarian cyst. In fact, you’ll likely have no symptoms at all. Or if you do, the symptoms may be similar to those of other conditions, such as endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, ectopic pregnancy or ovarian cancer. Even appendicitis and diverticulitis can produce symptoms that mimic a ruptured ovarian cyst.
Still, it’s important to be watchful of any symptoms or changes in your body and to know which symptoms are serious. If you have an ovarian cyst, you may experience the following signs and symptoms:
Menstrual irregularities
Pelvic pain — a constant or intermittent dull ache that may radiate to your lower back and thighs
Pelvic pain shortly before your period begins or just before it ends
Pelvic pain during intercourse (dyspareunia)
Nausea, vomiting or breast tenderness similar to that experienced during pregnancy
Fullness or heaviness in your abdomen
Pressure on your rectum or bladder — difficulty emptying your bladder completely
The signs and symptoms that signal the need for immediate medical attention include:
Sudden, severe abdominal or pelvic pain
Pain accompanied by fever or vomiting
i’m not sure, but i had an ovarian cyst also and i ended up having to have surgery. there was a lot of pain when i had my cyst, it felt like someone was stabbing me. it was the worst pain ever. if you haven’t already i would have a doctor check it out because the cyst could grow larger and then cause your ovary to flip. this would not allow blood to flow to your ovary and you might loose one. this is what happened to me, but luckily they caught it early on and saved my ovary!
good luck!
maybe, though what mine gave me was a tight crazy stinging pain when i was ovulating, like getting stabbed with lots of needles, better check with your doctor for ovarian cyst, cancer or endometriosis, good luck!
I have polycystic ovaries which means I have multiple cysts on both ovaries…and I have no pain at all. Maybe it varies from woman to woman, but if it continues to bother you, I’d see a Dr.
