5. When Is a Doctor Visit Needed?
Most ovarian cysts resolve without treatment, but people who suffer sudden severe pain may be experiencing a ruptured cyst. A ruptured cyst is a common reason for women of childbearing age to visit an emergency room.
If the pain is persistent but not severe and there are other symptoms of a cyst, a visit to the doctor for an ultrasound to rule out other conditions is recommended. Other more serious conditions can mimic the type of discomfort caused by an ovarian cyst.
