Symptoms of ovarian cysts vary between women, and may be very subtle or extremely obvious – and in many cases, women with cystic ovaries don’t experience any symptoms at all. Ovary pain is just one of the symptoms of ovarian cyst development, and there are various other indicators that problems are afoot. This list covers the most common ovarian cyst signs and symptoms, and if you are experiencing any of them (or other signs that something may be wrong), you should visit your doctor for confirmation of the cause, as these problems can also have causes other than ovarian cysts.

  • Pain is the most common ovarian cyst symptom, and may be dull or sharp. It commonly appears in the lower abdominal area, as well as the lower back, thighs or genital region. It may be especially noticeable after sex or exercise.

  • Menstrual irregularity (or no periods at all), or spotting in between periods
  • Infertility
  • Weight increase
  • Acne
  • A sense of pressure or bloating in the abdomen
  • Nausea/vomiting
  • Sore breasts
  • High blood pressure unrelated to other causes
  • Increase in body and/or facial hair growth
  • Headaches
  • Difficulty emptying the bladder or bowels due to abdominal pressure
  • Period pains, or pains just before or after menstruation

Again, these are merely the most common symptoms of an ovarian cyst, and this list is not exhaustive. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms on an ongoing basis, you should seek medical advice. In particular, you should see a doctor immediately if you experience the following symptoms:

  • Weakness, dizziness or fainting

  • Severe pelvic/abdominal pain
  • Prolonged pain, fever or nausea
  • Noticeable lumps in the abdominal or pelvic area
  • Excessive thirst or urination

Ovarian cysts are usually diagnosed via ultrasound, pelvic examination and/or CT scan, although additional tests may be carried out in some cases, particularly if polycystic ovarian syndrome or ovarian cancer is suspected. If you are diagnosed with ovarian cysts by your doctor, the recommended treatment will depend in part on the type of cysts you have, and sometimes a period of ‘watchful waiting’ is recommended to see how they progress.

Conventional ovarian cyst cures include hormonal drugs and surgery, although in many cases ovarian cysts will clear up by themselves given time, though they may cause significant discomfort in the meantime. If your cysts don’t require immediate medical intervention, you may wish to try a natural approach to treating them and preventing new cysts from recurring.

Natural remedies can help to avoid the side effects associated with drugs and surgery, and can help to boost your health so recurring cysts are less likely, and may be as simple as changing your diet to include more water and fibre, and eliminating junk food, drinking herbal teas and undertaking stress-reduction practices such as meditation. Natural treatments can often also be used in conjunction with traditional ovarian cyst cures, to boost the general health of the body and reduce the chances of the cysts recurring.
