Yes, Advil ? better: It's safe, but if it is not working to decrease the bleeding, ask your doctor about Advil (ibuprofen) or another "NSAID."

If Im having pain from a ovarian cyst, does that mean it has possibly ruptured or leaking? I read most cysts are asymptomatic. Im on the pill - low dose birth control. How long should wait to see doc? Been hurting a couple days so far?

A week ago, I lifted heavy item at gym. The next day my groin started hurting. Mostly right. Can the lifting flare up a ovarian cyst? I am on the pill. I read it could be a groin strain or hernia too. I go doc on Monday for this?
