What Causes Stomach Cramps, Nausea And Fatigue When Diagnosed With An Ovarian Cyst?

For the past few days, have been experiencing lots of stomach cramps, nausea, chills, fatigue, and bloating. I should be getting my menstrual period within the next few days. I ve never felt this way before. Went to the Drs where they did an ultrasound of my pelvic are and they found a burst cyst on my ovary. Could this be causing all these symptoms? They come and go but I m wondering if I ll finally find some relieve once I get my menstrual period

Hi,

This is indicating ovarian cysts which are common and may be single, multiple or may occur as a part of a polycystic ovarian syndrome.
At this point there is no need to be worried but further steps are required to ruled out malignancy completely. It means that CT scan or diagnostic laparoscopy should be done to evaluate it more accurately.
Generally, cysts should be managed surgically i cysts are larger than 5cm, bleeding cysts, torsioned or ruptured and it means that cysts became complicated and may cause specific pain.
Also, if there is polycystic syndrome as underlying cause then hormonal therapy is indicated. Pain is usually placed deep in pelvis on affected side and may be associated with nausea and fever.
I am sure that this will be just a benign cyst at the end but these further steps are required to ease your minds.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
