Today millions of women have ovarian cysts and a small percentage of these cysts will rupture once they become larger or more complex. Ruptured ovarian cyst symptoms are similar to the regular symptoms of ovarian cysts in several ways. This is why in some cases it can be quite difficult to identify when a rupture occurs. Both ruptured and intact ovarian cysts can cause a lot of pain for example. However, the difference will be in the intensity and the onset of this symptom. The other reason why an ovarian cyst rupture will be missed by some women is because each person has a different pain threshold. Therefore women with a lower pain threshold are more likely to notice a rupture. But are there any other ruptured ovarian cyst symptoms a woman should be mindful of when she has a particularly large or complex cyst?
Apart from the sudden, intense pain that manifests at the time of rupture, there are other important symptoms which may accompany this event. Firstly, it is important to know that a rupture can occur at any time, however, it is more likely to happen at the beginning of your menstrual cycles, when an egg is about to be released by your ovaries. So observing the time of when the sudden, intense pain occurs is crucial.
Other commonly reported ruptured ovarian cyst symptoms include fever and the feeling of light-headedness. A rupture can be also accompanied by nausea, vomiting or fainting. These symptoms can appear in a combination, which means that you may not necessarily experience them all. However, it is extremely important to observe your body for any signs of a rupture, since if it occurs, you will need immediate medical attention. In this case the only ovarian cyst treatment option will be the surgical removal of the cyst.
It is also important to know that when an ovarian cyst ruptures, the contents of the cyst will be released into the abdominal cavity, which can cause a major infection. You also need to bear in mind that sometimes a rupture is a result of a torsion, when a cyst twists around itself and this can sometimes twist with the ovary, restricting the blood flow to the organ.
