    You can’t depend on symptoms alone to tell you if you have an ovarian cyst. In fact, you’ll likely have no symptoms at all. Or if you do, the symptoms may be similar to those of other conditions, such as endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, ectopic pregnancy or ovarian cancer. Even appendicitis and diverticulitis can produce signs and symptoms that mimic a ruptured ovarian cyst.

    Still, it’s important to be watchful of any symptoms or changes in your body and to know which symptoms are serious. If you have an ovarian cyst, you may experience one or more of the following signs and symptoms:

    Menstrual irregularities
    Pelvic pain — a constant or intermittent dull ache that may radiate to your lower back and thighs
    Pelvic pain shortly before your period begins or just before it ends
    Pelvic pain during intercourse (dyspareunia)
    Pain during bowel movements or pressure on your bowels
    Nausea, vomiting or breast tenderness similar to that experienced during pregnancy
    Fullness or heaviness in your abdomen
    Pressure on your rectum or bladder — difficulty emptying your bladder completely
