A member asked:

Hi i want to know if standing for so long can make ovarian cyst worse?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Ahmad Ibrahim answered

Shouldn't: Gravity can cause your pelvis and ovaries to pull downwards and possibly causing some pain, but should not make an ovarian cyst larger or worse. Good luck
