Most ovarian cysts are small and don’t cause any problems. When there are symptoms, you might have pressure, bloating, swelling, or pain in one side of your lower belly. This pain may be sharp or dull, and it can come and go.
Sometimes, a cyst needs emergency attention. See your doctor right away if you have:
- Sudden, severe belly pain
- Pain with fever and throwing up
- Dizziness, weakness, or feeling faint
- Fast breathing
These things could mean your cyst has caused the ovary to twist.
