Mass in the Pelvis
Ovarian cysts can cause pain in the lower abdomen, groin, and pelvis. In addition, a mass may press on other organs in the gut, causing pain or discomfort in moving around. A mass in the pelvic area can be a symptom of an ovarian cyst. It is usually located near the ovary, a gland producing the female egg cells. The mass may feel like a pea or a small marble.
The cyst is filled with fluid and surrounds it. This wall can become thin over time and cause it to burst. This will cause internal bleeding and pain inside the belly area below the belly button. This condition can be painful if the wall ruptures, but no symptoms at all. Ovarian cysts can be treated with surgery or medications, depending on how large, how long it has been present, and how severe their symptoms are. However, even if there are no symptoms, physicians may still recommend treatment to prevent possible complications from developing in the future.
