A ruptured ovarian cyst occurs when a cyst within the ovary bursts, potentially causing severe abdominal pain and internal bleeding. If left untreated, this condition may lead to serious complications.
Possible Risks of a Ruptured Ovarian Cyst
- Severe Abdominal Pain: Pain typically occurs suddenly and intensely in the lower abdomen.
- Internal Bleeding: A ruptured cyst can cause internal bleeding in the abdominal cavity, which can be life-threatening if bleeding is severe.
- Infection: Blood pooling in the abdominal cavity can lead to infection.
- Inflammation: The tissue around the ruptured cyst may become inflamed.
- Other Complications: Such as ovarian torsion (twisting of the ovary) or the formation of other types of ovarian masses.
Seek Immediate Medical Attention If You Experience:
- Intense abdominal pain, especially in the lower abdomen
- Fever
- Nausea or vomiting
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Fatigue
- Abnormal vaginal bleeding
Treatment
Treatment for a ruptured ovarian cyst often involves surgery to stop bleeding and remove the cyst. The doctor will assess and decide on the most suitable surgical approach, which may be either open surgery or laparoscopy.
Risk Factors for a Ruptured Ovarian Cyst
- Cyst Size: Larger cysts are more likely to rupture.
- Ovarian Torsion: Twisting of the ovary may restrict blood flow and lead to cyst rupture.
- Trauma or Impact: Intense physical activities or accidents can increase the risk of rupture.
- Sexual Activity: In some cases, sexual intercourse may cause a cyst to rupture.
Prevention
While ovarian cysts cannot always be prevented, regular gynecological check-ups can help detect and treat cysts early, reducing the risk of complications.
If you have additional questions or concerns about ovarian cysts, it is best to consult a medical specialist.
