Abnormal uterine bleeding that has not been explained may be suggestive of hormonal issues due to cyst formation in the ovaries.
Persistent feelings of fullness, especially after eating may signal that a cyst is compressing other organs.
When a cyst developing close to the bowel or bladder, changes in bowel movements and/ or higher frequency of urinary may be observed.
Some discomfort during menstruation is acceptable. But constant and sharp pain that is not relieved may be a sign of conditions such as an ovarian cyst.
