How do i know if i have appendicitis or ovarian cyst leaking?

Go to your doctor. : Self diagnosis is very risky, especially with appendicitis. Go to your doctor or the er. A ct would be the best test to distinguish between a cyst and appendicitis. Get checked though because if it is appendicitis, delay in diagnosis can lead to rupture which can cause fertility problems in the future, or even death.

Testing: See your doctor and get ultrasound or abdominal ct scan if your examine indicates the need for it. Let the doctor make the diagnosis.
