Patient's question:
Does an ovarian cyst cause lower back pain? I knew I had an ovarian cyst two years ago. Considering various factors, I didn't have surgery immediately, but I have been taking medication on schedule. The past few days, my lower back pain has been particularly severe. Generally speaking, does an ovarian cyst cause lower back pain?Doctor's answer:
Ovarian cysts will never cause lower back pain again. The fact that you didn't have surgery at the time proves that your cyst was not large. When the cyst is small, it should have little impact on your body. Even if there is an effect, it would likely manifest as abdominal pain or changes in the menstrual cycle, such as an increase in menstrual flow. So, regarding your lower back pain, you should be cautious whether it is due to recent overexertion or kidney deficiency.
