Ovarian Cyst Symptoms

Certain symptoms will help to diagnose an ovarian cyst, though experiencing these ovarian cyst symptoms are not necessarily confirmation of the presence of an ovarian cyst. A symptom experienced by itself is not cause for immediate alarm, but medical attention should be sought quickly when a combination of two or more are recognized.

Menstrual irregularities, such as painful periods and abnormal bleeding may be an indication of ovarian cysts, especially if there is no prior history of irregularities. This could also mean a longer or shorter than usual menstrual period, an absent menstruation, or an irregular menstruation. Spotting or light bleeding can occur when symptoms of ovarian symptoms manifest. Unexplained weight gain may be another symptom of ovarian cysts.

Ovarian cysts can cause pelvic pain as a result or the start of menses, intercourse, or strenuous exercise. The symptom can include aching in the thighs and lower back. If the ovarian cyst bursts, bleeds, or twists, or if it grows too large it can cause pain and pressure in the pelvic region and in the abdomen. This can block blood flow to the ovaries and can irritate abdominal tissue.

The symptoms of pregnancy are much the same as the symptoms of ovarian cysts. You must look for symptoms outside the common pregnancy symptoms to see the difference between the two. Infertility is one of the common symptoms present with 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 make it difficult for a general doctor to detect a cyst and they rarely make a diagnosis based on them. While locating a cyst based on symptoms is not impossible, the majority of ovarian cysts are found not because of ovarian cyst symptoms, but as a result of annual Pap smears.
