10. Fever
The most dangerous risk associated with a ruptured cyst is sepsis. An ovarian cyst can become infected or develop because of an infection, and when the infected cyst ruptures, it releases bacteria into the body.2Baras, Dana. ‘What Risks Are Associated with a Ruptured Ovarian Cyst?’ Johns Hopkins Medicine, www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/what-risks-are-associated-with-a-ruptured-ovarian-cyst. If the infection is left untreated, it can develop into sepsis, a chain reaction of extreme immune responses that can rapidly cause organ failure.7‘What Is Sepsis?’ Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 27 Jan. 2021, www.cdc.gov/sepsis/what-is-sepsis.html.
A fever can indicate an infection. Seek emergency medical attention if you experience fever or vomiting plus severe abdominal pain.
