A member asked:

How will i know by my own that my ovarian cysts(5-8mm) are getting ruptured, before i go for an ultrasound?

Specializes in Radiology

You won't: I wouldn't be too excited about 5-8mm simple cysts. If they had atypical characteristics you might want them followed but most of the time they would be either developing or regressing follicles. There would be no way for you to be aware of their status without an ultrasound.
