Ruptured ovarian cysts usually have a bad reputation. Is this reputation deserved or not? That is the question and this article will provide you with some valuable information on the subject. Hopefully, you will be able to put your mind at rest for a while if you have been stressing over the issue.
Now, women who suffer from ovarian cysts already know that a swollen abdomen is often one of the usual symptoms and won't necessarily mean that the lump has started to rupture. However, in the case of a ruptured ovarian cyst, this symptom is often accompanied by an uncommon sensitiveness as well as the weird sensation that something within you abdomen is definitely not right. This is the sort of thing you should be looking for. Simply ask yourself whether you are experiencing the normal and usual pain and discomfort. Has something changed? You know yourself better than anyone so it is important that you listen to your inner self and identify noticeable changes within your body.

Ok, now that we have shed some light on what can be described as the main symptoms I suggest we look at what can usually be done to treat ruptured ovarian cysts.
Well, as you may already guess, the very first thing you should do if you suspect that one of your cyst has burst is rush to your nearest hospital without any delay in order to have it checked up and most importantly in order for the medical team to stabilize the condition before it gets worse.
This is a routine treatment that can prevent the cyst from deteriorating and causing more damage. You will have to take quite a few medical tests in order to assess the severity of the ruptured cyst. Some of these tests include checking your blood and urine as well as an ultrasound.
If the ruptured lump presents a potential danger for your nearby organs, surgery may be necessary but this option remains fortunately quite rare.
You may also be given a pregnancy test. Whilst this may sound strange at first, the explanation is that some women may not yet be aware of their pregnancy and if this pregnancy has unfortunately taken place within the fallopian tubes instead of the uterus, this can cause the cyst to rupture.
At this stage, I really don't want you to worry but these are roughly the usual medical examinations carried out straight away in order to make the right diagnosis.
Now, as far as treatments for ruptured ovarian cysts are concerned, the most common remains a course of antibiotics in order to prevent an infection that could lead to some much more serious problems such as blood poisoning for instance. It is very important to understand that acting fast is the best thing you can do and although many women don't know that they suffer from ovarian cysts simply because they experience no symptoms, yearly check-ups with your gynaecologist is an absolute must.
