How does ovarian cyst symptoms differ from pregnancy symptoms?
Both conditions can be asymptomatic (without symptoms) except for the obvious enalargement of the abdomen in pregnancy. Pregnancy can also present with a missed period, nausea, vomitting, abdominal cramps, headaches, weight gain…etc. The main feature of ovarian cyst is that the onset of pain is sudden and that the pain is very sharp in nature especially when it ruptures. Sometimes it is hard to differentiate it from the pain of appendicitis (inflamed appendix).
