A member asked:

I found out that i have a cyst on my ovary. will doing sit ups or running or sleeping on my stomach rupture it or make it worse?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: Occasionally being active such as running, jumping or intercourse can cause an ovarian cyst to rupture. If a cyst leaks or ruptures it causes significant pain. I normally don't restrict activity in my patients with cysts unless they are having pain.
