Why do ruptured ovarian cysts hurt so much?

Dr. Steven Vasilev answered

Specializes in Gynecologic Oncology

Fluid irritating: The fluid or blood that comes out of a ruptured cyst irritates the internal skin lining of your body, called the "peritoneum". Your body absorbs it, and then the pain goes away.
