The list of symptoms associated with ovarian cysts is quite large and includes many of the same symptoms as several other physical problems, such as endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, pregnancy or ovarian cancer. Due to this fact, the appearance of one or two symptoms, depending on their individual severity may or may not be a point for concern. If the symptoms become regular or become worse with time, then it is very important for you to make an appointment with your family doctor in order to be properly diagnosed.
One of the most revealing signs to look for with ovarian cyst symptoms are any type of menstrual changes or irregularities. This can mean many things including pelvic pain that can be constant or intermittent dull ache that may radiate to your lower back and thighs, longer or shorter periods or even the lack of menstruation, abnormal bleeding or even unexplainable weight gain.
Some of the other symptoms include:
o Those that are similar to women during pregnancy, such as nausea, vomiting or breast tenderness.
o Pain during intercourse
o A feeling of fullness in your abdomen
o Feeling as though you can’t empty your bladder completely
o Pressure on your bladder or rectum
o Pain during bowel movements
o Intense exercise during the beginning of your menstrual cycle can produce irritation to an already sensitive ovarian cyst
While ovarian cyst symptoms can be severe and more obvious that there is a problem, sometimes the symptoms are so similar to other physical signs from other conditions it can be hard to tell them apart. This is why it is very important to go to your doctor and be examined.
Leaving an ovarian cyst unchecked it can grow, sometimes very quickly, twist, bleed or even rupture. If you have sudden severe abdominal or pelvic pain or pain with a fever or vomiting, you need to seek immediate medical attention.
Luckily, most times ovarian cysts and the symptoms they bring with them will disappear just as quickly as they showed up. The most common forms of ovarian cyst only require time to heal.
