Can a ovarian cyst result in death?

In: Conditions and Diseases [Edit categories]

Answer:

No it cannot. But you should notify your doctor so they can monitor growth of the cyst.

New answer: Yes, actually it can, but not unless there are complications. A ruptured ovarian cyst can have potentially life-threatening complications, such as hemorrhage and infection. You need to see a doctor so that he or she can keep an eye on the cyst to see if it shrinks. I know this because I currently have one that is 3.2 cm wide. Most ovarian cysts disappear all on their own and even if they don't, the cysts are usually not cancerous or dangerous.
