Ovarian cysts often cause no symptoms, however when symptoms are present, ovarian cysts may cause a dull ache or a sense of fullness or pressure in the abdomen. Pain during intercourse and at other times can also indicate the presence of ovarian cysts.
Pain or pressure is caused by a number of factors such as size, bleeding or bursting of a cyst which irritates the abdominal tissues, or torsion (twisting of a cyst) which can block the flow of blood to the cyst.
Other symptoms of ovarian cysts which might occur include delayed, irregular, or unusually painful periods. If you experience distention of your abdomen or any other symptoms, I recommend you go see your doctor immediately.

Sometimes ovarian cysts present themselves with little to no symptoms at all. There is however a list of symptoms attributed to them.
- pressure, fullness, or pain in the abdomen
-dull ache in the lower back and thighs
-problems passing urine completely
-pain during sexual intercourse
-weight gain
-painful menstrual periods and abnormal bleeding
-nausea or vomiting
-breast tenderness
If you have any of those, or if you have pain accompanied by fevers or vomiting, sudden and severe abdominal pain, faintness, dizziness, weakness or sudden rapid breathing you will want to get checked out immediately. If you're presenting none of these symptoms but are still worried about it, just go get checked out. The peace of mind will be better for your sanity.
