4. PMS-like Symptoms
PMS commonly includes symptoms like irritability, anxiety, depression, pain in the abdomen, pain and swelling in the abdomen, back pain and, of course, discomfort. These are all symptoms that occur just before your normal period, and most women don’t realize it, but the occurrence of ovarian cysts can make these symptoms much worse in the long run. The hormones are drastically affected when you suffer from ovarian cysts, and this hormonal imbalance can throw you into what feels a lot like PMS.
Subsequently, the symptoms are considered to be much of the same and you might feel like you have PMS because of your hormones even when you don’t – though as we’ve just said, can be considerably worsened by an occurrence of ovarian cysts, that can become extremely painful, affect your hormone balances and even pop – causing more pain. Consult your doctor if this happens to you at any point.
