I know that having burst ovarian cysts sounds nasty, and it can be. But it can also be a completely natural process and many women do not realize that they even have a cyst until it has burst.
Burst ovarian cysts can commonly be mistaken for other problems. If it is not correctly diagnosed these cysts can lead to future problems. Infection can actually become a problem if an ovarian cyst which has burst is ignored.
Common Misdiagnosis
Most of these misdiagnosis cases happen when a woman and even a doctor jump to conclusions. This is so easy to do simply because the signs and symptoms that are common for an ovarian cyst, even one that has painfully burst, can easily appear to point to other medical conditions.
One of the first assumptions that is made is that you are pregnant. Many women who get ovarian cysts are able to have children. Many are even trying to have children, so make the assumption that they are pregnant when they first feel the symptoms appear. This is because an ovarian cyst affects your periods, gives you abdominal pain, twinges, cramping and in some cases even nausea. Breast tenderness and a feeling of fullness is also a common symptom of both pregnancy and ovarian cysts.
In severe cases, the blood loss and accompanying feelings common with burst ovarian cysts also can cause a woman to feel dizzy and even faint. When all of these early pregnancy symptoms are present in a woman who has otherwise always been healthy, the confusion is natural and not far fetched.
One other condition an ovarian cyst that has burst may lead a patient and even a doctor to believe is present is appendicitis. This is when the appendix is about or already has ruptured. The pain associated with the two diseases has been similarly described. Even doctors may have trouble distinguishing the cause of your pain. This confusion is understandable especially if you do not have a history of having cysts.
Either way, if you have any of these symptoms, get to your doctor and get it checked out, as all of these will need some sort of treatment.
Rare Signs or Symptoms of Burst Ovarian Cysts
Aside from feeling belly pain and having irregular periods, there are other symptoms of ovarian cysts that may have burst that you should recognize and pay careful attention to.
Gas and indigestion. Because your intestines are close to your ovaries, in rare cases burst ovarian cysts can actually increase the pain from gas and may even cause indigestion. Now this does not mean that each time you have gas you have an ovarian cyst, but in combination with other symptoms it may be a reliable indicator.
A lack of appetite is another unusual sign, as is
Frequent urination.
These may be relatively minor symptoms, but when you notice them along with the major signs mentioned above make sure that you tell your doctor. It may help with a diagnosis.
