Question

Recently (within the last year) had an ovarian cyst rupture. Doctor told me i could leave and gave me codine w/ tylenol (acetaminophen). Could i be infertile?

Answer 1

Ovarian cyst: Ovarian cysts can and do recur often. As long as they spontaneously "disappear", no harm no foul. If the cyst gets very large, they can twist and cut off the blood supply and produce acute pain.

Answer 2

Yes: Every month when a woman ovulates there will be a cyst on one of her ovaries at least 2 centimeters in diameter. That cyst will rupture to release the egg. Most women do not know this has happened, but some women will have cramps or pain around the time of ovulation. Sometimes the cyst will fill with blood and be very painfull, usually it resolves on its own - but some will require surgery.

Answer 3

Yes, with pain.: An ovarian cyst can rupture and this can cause pain which may be significant. Another complication (much rarer) is ovarian torsion where the ovary twists on itself, causing lack of blood supply to the ovary. This, too, can cause significant pain.

Answer 4

Nature or injury etc: Most common follicular cysts of menstrual cycle, constantly formed and disappear (rupture) , carpus luteal cysts may be associated with small bleeding, chocolate cysts caused by endometriosis may rupture due to pressure caused by fluid accumulation of fluid, all are harmless, ( may have thin wall ) except tumor cysts, ( same reason) some times direct trauma like car accident may cause.

Answer 5

Like a balloon: An ovarian cyst can rupture when it reaches a certain size, when the wall thins out, when the cyst ages, with change in hormones or with a minor trauma. Many times the rupture is without symptoms, however sometimes it can be very painful, can bleed, can require emergency or urgent health care. Your doc can monitor your cyst with ultrasound and exam.

Answer 6

Menstruation: Cysts are a normal part of the menstrual cycle. The ovary forms a "corpus luteum cyst" which ruptures near the time of menstruation if no fertilization occurs. It is thought that this may be one cause of benign ovarian cysts that keep growing.

Answer 7

Yes possible: Yes cysts will rupture due to thin wall, pressure builds up by fluid accumulation , like follicular cysts do rupture and cause discomfort, luteal cysts may cause small amount of bleeding , rarely large tumor cysts may, usually due to trauma only way to find the problem is examination by your gyn doctor.

Answer 8

Possible: Intercourse with deep penetration causes the uterus to move. The ovary is attached to the uterus by the ovarian ligament, so it is possible.
