- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a hormonal disorder causing enlarged ovaries with small cysts on the outer edges
- Pelvic pain or pressure
- Bloating or abdominal swelling
- Irregular menstrual cycles
- Pain during intercourse
- Feeling full quickly while eating
- Monitor symptoms and report any changes to your GP
- Pain management with over-the-counter medication
- Hormonal birth control to regulate menstrual cycles and prevent new cysts
- In serious cases, surgery may be necessary to remove the cyst
