An ovarian cyst is more likely to cause pain if it:
Becomes large Bleeds Breaks open Is bumped during sexual intercourse Is twisted or causes twisting (torsion) of the Fallopian tube
Symptoms of ovarian cysts can include:
Bloating or swelling in the abdomen Pain during bowel movements Pain in the pelvis shortly before or after beginning a menstrual period Pain with intercourse or pelvic pain during movement Pelvic pain: constant, dull aching Sudden and severe pelvic pain, often with nausea and vomiting, may be a sign of torsion or twisting of the ovary on its blood supply, or rupture of a cyst with internal bleeding
Changes in menstrual periods are not common with follicular cysts, and are more common with corpus luteum cysts. Spotting or bleeding may occur with some cysts.
