Ruptured Ovarian Cyst

A Ruptured Ovarian Cyst is the bursting of an ovarian cyst; a fluid-filled sac or pocket in an

ovary

 or on its surface. The main symptom is abdominal pain, which may last a few days to several weeks, but it can also be asymptomatic. Rupture of large ovarian cysts can cause bleeding inside the abdominal cavity.
The larger the cyst, the greater the risk of rupture. Vigorous activity that affects the pelvis, such as vaginal intercourse, also increases the risk.
