While experiencing ovarian cyst symptoms can help to diagnose the existence of an ovarian cyst, simply having the symptoms is not necessarily a confirmation of its existence. Only having experience with one symptom is not a cause for action in most cases, but once you begin to show multiple ovarian cyst symptoms it is time for you to talk to a medical doctor.
One of the symptoms of ovarian cysts is menstrual irregularities which could be painful periods and abnormal bleeding particularly for women with no prior irregularity history. A longer or shorter than normal period, a missing menstruation, or an inconsistent menstruation could also be referred to as menstrual irregularities. Spotting or light bleeding is an apparent symptom of ovarian cyst. Ovarian cyst is also noticed when women experience unexplained weight gain.
Strenuous exercise, the beginning of menses and even intercourse can cause an Ovarian Cyst to become irritated and result in pelvic pain. A ache in the lower back and thighs are common symptoms. If the symptoms worsen you will start to notice pressure and pain in the abdomen and pelvic area, especially if the ovarian cyst grows too large, bleeds, bursts or twists. Any of these things can begin to block proper blood flow to the ovaries and aggravate abdominal tissue.
Symptoms similar to those of pregnancy, like nausea, vomiting, and tenderness of the breasts, are common symptoms of ovarian cysts. It is worth mentioning that other symptoms can distinguish between pregnancy and ovarian cysts. Infertility, for example, is itself a common symptom of ovarian cysts.
Ovarian cysts are often accompanied by abdominal pain, fullness or pressure. The pain may occur and disappear suddenly. Abdominal bloating or swelling may also be present. Development of an ovarian cyst may also cause uncomfortable pressure or pain during bowel movements, passing urine problems, and existence of pressure on the rectum or bladder.
Most ovarian cysts almost always go away given the passage of time. However, some ovarian cyst symptoms are severe and require immediate medical attention. This includes sudden and severe pelvic or abdominal pain, pain with fever and vomiting, shortness of breath, and faintness or sudden weakness.
Ovarian cyst symptoms are not clearly and easily detected and their very nature makes it extremely difficult for them to be detected by a general practitioner in a routine examination. Cysts can be detected without the show of any symptoms but in the case of ovarian cysts they are usually detected during a patient's annual Pap smear rather than because the patient exhibited any symptoms.
