Common Symptoms Associated with Ovarian Cysts
Ovarian cysts symptoms can range to non-existent to severe. It all depends on the type of cysts you have as well as how big the cysts and how long you have had them. (You can read about the different types of ovarian cysts here).
Most of the times a cyst on the ovaries won't even be noticed by a woman and may only be found during a routine exam. Other times a woman may be in quite a bit of pain or just not feel right. Here are some of the common symptoms that are associated with ovarian cysts.
The main symptom of an ovarian cyst is pain in the lower abdomen or lower back. The pain may also radiate down into the thighs as well. The area may also be tender to touch. The pain can be sharp pains that are felt every once in awhile or may be a duller, aching pain that is always there. There may also be swelling or bloating in the lower abdomen or pelvic region as well.
Another symptom is an irregular menstrual cycle. Cysts on the ovaries can affect ovulation thus making your normal menstrual cycle off kilter. You may also experience intense menstrual cramps or have heavier than normal bleeding during your periods as well.
If at any time you have nausea, with or without vomiting, and a fever or a pain in your pelvic area that is so intense you can't even stand you should seek medical help as soon as possible. You may have a ruptured cyst that needs immediate attention or you may be suffering from an infection.
