wersthebeef 10-14-2012 02:37 PM  When Cysts Rupture I have a 4cm
chocolate cyst on my left ovary. I'm really afraid of it
rupturing from what I have read, they cause excruciating pain
and you have to go to the ER.  I'm afraid of mine rupturing. I
also had a pelvic ultrasound at one point and they said it was
leaking fluid into my abdomen (it was not ruptured). I also have
really heavy and painful periods. Is it likely to rupture at
4cm? Is there anything that causes them to rupture? Is there
anything I can do to stop it? Is there anything you can do to
know if it's about to rupture? Thanks for reading and I
appreciate any responses or help.
