| What are the symptoms of ovarian cysts? |
Many women have ovarian cysts without having any symptoms. Sometimes, though, a cyst will cause these problems:
- pressure, fullness, or pain in the abdomen
- dull ache in the lower back and thighs
- problems passing urine completely
- pain during sexual intercourse
- weight gain
- painful menstrual periods and abnormal bleeding
- nausea or vomiting
- breast tenderness
|
If you have these symptoms, get help right away:
- pain with fever and vomiting
- sudden, severe abdominal pain
- faintness, dizziness, or weakness
- rapid breathing
