Ovarian Cyst Rupture Symptoms

Nowadays, a lot of women are getting worried over an ovarian cyst that appears to have exploded. But, what exactly does this mean and how is this occurrence determined? If your doctor told you your ovarian cyst explode on you, that means you most likely had an ovarian cyst rupture. Generally, this implies that a fluid-filled mass developed on your ovary; often this happens when an egg is not released at ovulation and the follicle – the sac – is filled with more and more fluid and gets bigger and bigger. Eventually, the cyst can get so large that part of the wall weakens and fluid begins to leak out; that is, the cyst ruptures.

Ordinary and ruptured ovarian cyst symptoms are more or less the same. Specific differences will only occur in the onset, the severity and the regularity of the symptoms. The most common symptoms and signs of a ruptured ovarian cyst include the following:

    Irregular periods     
            Women, who are 20 years old and above, who are suffering from irregular periods should be concerned. Extreme pelvic pain during monthly periods can also be a sign of a ruptured ovarian cyst, especially if the bleeding is heavy.
