Ovarian cysts

Symptom monitoring remains an essential component of expectant management. Patients should be educated on the predominant symptoms of ovarian cysts and cancer: bloating, early satiety, urinary frequency, urgency, pelvic pain, abdominal distension. Avoidance of vigorous exercise and avoidance of sexual intercourse is recommended for women with large ovarian cysts at risk for rupture or torsion, specifically pregnant patients with large ovarian cysts.
