A member asked:
I have benign ovarian cyst 5.5x 8.5 cm, if it bursts or twists would it be a medical emergency? what could the consequences be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes it would: We cannot prescribe or diagnose on Health Tap, but a ruptured or torsed (twisted) ovary at that size would indeed be a surgical emergency. If not addressed you could hemorrhage or lose the ovary. You need a live doctor to be managing this right now.
