A member asked:
What is the difference between ovulation and rupture?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not much difference: During ovulation a follicle that is like a small cyst ruptures to release the egg. These are about 20-25mm (one inch). Other cysts that are not follicles or related to ovulation may grow bigger and rupture causing more pain and symptoms.
