A member asked:

What should i do to relieve ovarian cyst pain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ovarian cyst: A cyst (follicle) ruptures each month as you ovulate. Sometimes, the follicle (cyst) that contains the egg that you should ovulate grows bigger and the egg inside stops developing. The cyst may rupture and cause pain or discomfort. Using ibuprofen, naproxen, or some type of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent will help with the pain.
