Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Does Pain In The Lower Back And Abdomen Indicate?
Hello, I am a female with moderate abdominal and lower back pain with lightheadedness and abnormal discharge. I went into the doctor and found that I have 2 follicular cysts. Do you believe from my symptoms that the cyst possibly could have ruptured? I am just concerned and would like to hear an opinion before I head in to an emergency room. Thank you
Abdominal pain and back pain can be due to complications associated with an ovarian cyst like ovarian torsion and rupture. However, abdominal discharge is concerning for possibility of infection (pelvic inflammatory disease). You will need a pelvic examination, pelvic ultrasound, and vaginal swab culture at this point. So please be advised to follow up with the emergency room as soon as possible.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Lekshmi Rita Venugopal
