Ruptured cysts: Other than releasing cysts, ovaries don't actually burst. But releasing cysts (which occurs normally every month 2 weeks before onset of menstrual period) usually doesn't cause very much more than discomfort. Sometimes bleeding occurs when a cyst ruptures, and can cause severe pain in the lower abdomen, often associated with nausea, lightheadedness.

Cyst can "burst": When an ovarian cyst "bursts' you will feel a sudden, sharp pain which can b excruciating and then wanes over the next hour or 2. You may feel a vague pain over the next 2 days.
