\"\"Every woman has two ovaries, the ovaries are about the same size and the same shape as almond and they are located on the side of the uterus. Eggs will develop and mature inside of the ovaries and are then released in a monthly cycle when a woman is of childbearing years. At times, a pocket or fluid-filled sack will appear on the surface of the ovary or inside of it.<\/p>\n

This is called an ovarian cyst. Ovarian cysts are actually quite common and many women will experience them from time to time. Most of the time an ovarian cyst will not cause any discomfort and are quite harmless. Most will disappear without any type of treatment within just a few months.<\/p>\n

However, there are some cysts on the ovaries, especially ones that rupture, which can cause some serious side effects and symptoms. It is important to know the symptoms of ovarian cysts that may signal a problem that is potentially serious. Here are 12 warning signs of ovarian cysts that should not be overlooked.<\/p>\n

One of the other symptoms that may be caused by ovarian cysts is difficulty with bowel movements. When you are moving your bowels you may notice some pressure. You may also find that you frequently need to move your bowels<\/a>. An ovarian cyst may grow to be quite large, which can cause it to put pressure in the abdominal region. This can make it more difficult to pass stool. You could end up with a stool that is runny and experience diarrhea.<\/p>\n

It is also possible that you can experience constipation. It may be difficult to pass stool at times. When you do go to pass stool you might experience some pain as well.

\"\"4. Painful Sex<\/h3>\n

One of the inconvenient symptoms of ovarian cysts is pain during sex. There are some women who have ovarian cysts that start to feel pain and discomfort in the abdominal region after sex. There are some women who experience pain during sex. This is called dyspareunia. When you feel pain either during or after sex it is not normal and can be the sign of something serious.

\"\"5. Pain in the Lower Back or Thigh<\/h3>\n

Another symptom of ovarian cysts that a woman may experience is a pain in the lower back and possibly through their thighs. The pain will often start in the area of the pelvis<\/a> but will start to spread to the lower back and into the thighs. The pain is often radiating and not consistent. This pain could turn into a dull ache that does not go away. While this symptom does not indicate any type of severe condition in most cases, it is still important to monitor yourself over time.<\/p>\n

\"\"6. Pregnancy Symptoms<\/h3>\n

Some women who develop ovarian cysts will develop symptoms that are similar to being pregnant. You may have breast tenderness. In addition, in some more exceptional cases, a woman will experience hormonal abnormalities. This means that the body will begin to produce abnormal quantities of certain hormones. When the hormones<\/a> become imbalanced it can cause many other symptoms including excessive hair growth. In addition, a woman who has developed these symptoms may have difficulty getting pregnant.<\/p>\n

The cysts do not necessarily affect fertility, but the condition will affect the ability of women to get pregnant. If you notice that your breasts are feeling more tender than normal and you start to grow hair in unwanted places, such as on your face, neck, chest, or back, and you have some of the other symptoms on this list, it is a good idea to have yourself checked by a medical professional.<\/p>\n

\"\"7. Nausea and Vomiting<\/h3>\n

Another symptom that may develop when a woman has ovarian cysts is that they may feel nauseous all of the time. This may occur even though nothing else is wrong. Some women may have this feeling of nauseousness for a long period of time and it may even cause them to begin vomiting. If you find that you are feeling nauseous<\/a> to the point of vomiting quite frequently and these symptoms seem to come out of nowhere, there is a good chance that you have cysts on your ovaries.<\/p>\n

Aside from these feelings, you may also find that you feel very full after eating very little. If you are feeling sick to your stomach, first think back to what you last ate. If the symptoms have appeared suddenly and you do not think it was caused by the food that you ate, you may have a more serious condition that needs to be checked out.<\/p>\n

\"\"8. Irregular Menstruation<\/h3>\n

The majority of women have a regular menstrual cycle. This means that the menstrual cycle occurs once every 28 to 30 days or so. It is important to be observant of your menstrual cycle.

\"\"9. Severe Pelvic Pain<\/h3>\n

Once again, many of the symptoms of ovarian cysts will be centered around the abdominal and pelvic regions. If ovarian cysts are present, you may feel a full sensation in the pelvic area. This occurs as the cyst starts to put pressure on the bladder<\/a>. An achy pain in the pelvic area that does not go away could be a sign of an ovarian cyst. The pain could be dull or sharp and is typically felt right around the area where the cyst is located.<\/p>\n

Sharp immediate pain in the pelvic area or abdominal region may occur as well. This is one of the more dangerous symptoms of ovarian cysts as it could be a sign that the cyst has ruptured. If you experience this type of pain it is important to make sure that you seek medical attention immediately. There are different treatments available based on the severity of the condition.<\/p>\n

\"\"10. Dizziness<\/h3>\n

When the condition of ovarian cysts is left untreated you may find that you feel dizzy or faint. Your body could begin to weaken as a result of the condition. As mentioned, you may have the symptom of feeling full even though you have not eaten much. This can cause you to lose your appetite. When you are not eating enough, it can exacerbate the issue and cause you to feel dizzy or faint as you are not providing your body with the nutrients that it needs.<\/p>\n

Dizziness<\/a> or feeling faint can be a sign that something is not right in the body. This is not only a symptom of ovarian cysts but other conditions as well. If you find that you often feel dizzy or like you are going to faint, it is important to discuss this with your doctor. If you have some of the other symptoms on this list as well, there is a chance that ovarian cysts are the cause.<\/p>\n

\"\"11. Rapid Weight Loss<\/h3>\n

When you go on a diet<\/a> you expect to lose weight. After all, that is the goal. The healthiest and best way to lose weight is slowly and steadily. Losing weight too quickly can be detrimental to health. If you have not made any changes in your diet, but notice a rapid loss of weight, there is a chance that you may have ovarian cysts that are affecting your digestion.

If you have noticed a sudden drop in weight in combination with some of these other symptoms, discuss it with your doctor to determine the cause.<\/p>\n

\"\"12. Fever and Rapid Breathing<\/h3>\n

A woman who has ovarian cysts may experience a fever combined with rapid breathing. This is a sign that your condition is in a later stage. Any time that you are running a fever it is a sign that your body is fighting off some type of infection. The fever<\/a> is one of the body\u2019s first lines of defense when it comes to fighting off unwanted germs within the body.<\/p>\n
