A member asked:

She died yesterday. husband said all he knows is she was in er days before from ruptured ovarian cyst. is this possibly the cause?

Dr. John Chiu answered

Contact ER: It is possible that the hemorrhage from the ovarian cyst was so massive than they couldn't save her in time. On the other hand, this would have been a very unusual complication. It is best to hear the cause from the horse's mouth (the ER doctor who took care of her)
