Treat Ruptured Ovarian Cysts

A ruptured cyst on the ovary can cause symptoms that range from mild to severe. It's important to know what the are and what to do if you experience them.


Instructions


1. Some women experience no symptoms when an ovarian cyst ruptures. Typically, when no symptoms occur, the issue resolves itself and no treatment is necessary.


2. It's important to recognize the symptoms of a ruptured cyst if they do occur. This will allow you to take action. These symptoms include pelvic pain, which can range from mild to severe and can be felt in the lower back or even in the thighs. Also, pay attention to pain during intercourse .


3. In addition to pain, be aware of symptoms that may seem unrelated, especially if you have a history of ovarian cysts. These include vomiting, nausea, and a heaviness of either the bladder or abdomen.








4. If you experience any of these symptoms, you should contact your doctor. Depending on the severity, she/he will offer treatment which can range from simply observing you until the condition resolves itself to surgery.


5. If any of the symptoms become severe or unbearable and your doctor is not available, visit your nearest emergency room immediately. Get someone to drive you, if possible.
