Dr. Seth Derman answered

Specializes in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility

Yes: Ovarian cysts often produce hormones such as estrogen or progesterone. When a cyst ruptures, those levels can drop and cause you to bleed. It may be a some spotting or even a full blown period. If it persists, you should see your doctor.
