Ruptured ovarian cyst

What did your ruptured cyst feel like?

I woke up this morning to extreme pain when I stood up. It felt bloated/heavy, very painful and lasted for about 20 minutes. Still tender and sore but manageable now.

How did your appointment go?

Doctor doesn’t think it was a ruptured cyst, which is great. Scheduled for an ultrasound later this week.

I have had one rupture with debilitating pain - thought appendix ruptured but was the wrong side. Some women pass out or go to emergency because the pain is so bad. Definitely discuss with your doc. I recommend having an ultrasound to see if there are more. Might be worth discussing possible endometriosis with your doc as well. I’m so sorry you had to experience that - it’s terrible. In most cases ovarian cysts are “functional” (normal), common, and nothing to worry about.

I have the Endo all over my pelvic region (bladder, ovaries, uterus and left tube), not really in a certain area.

Good luck with your lap and tests next week. Hope all goes well for you!

It was 15 years ago so my memory may not be accurate. I think the extremely severe pain (10/10, sharp, stabbing) lasted for maybe 25-35 min. Was still in significant pain for several hours afterward, with soreness the next day. I also had intense cramping leading up to that for a few hours in the same area. I’m so sorry to hear you also have endometriosis. I suspect I have it too, my mother had it and I have many of the symptoms. Have had a miscarriage and difficulty conceiving since. Next week I will have laparoscopy, HSG and saline sonogram in one appointment next week. Bracing for bad news. Where is your endometriosis?

I was cramping before it popped. But when it did, my entire stomach bloated (I looked 9mos pregnant) and it felt like it was on fire. I was laying on the floor and couldn’t move. It was so painful. I went to the hospital and they said one ruptured and there was another just chilling. It took about 3 weeks for my stomach to go back down and the pain to go away. It was worse than labor.

Thanks. Sorry you went through that.

It also depends on how big they are. The one that popped and the one that was there were about 4-5cm.
