Anxiety.: Your anxiety is not likely to worsen an ovarian cyst. Do you have a cyst or is it pain that you believe would be consistent with an ovarian cyst? Marked anxiety can decrease your pain threshold and can turn you into an emotional wreck. If you are guessing about the source of your pain - encourage to get it checked out. Take some of the fear out of this.
