Ovarian Cyst Back Pain: Is There a Connection?

Womens Health Mia Garnsey

Conclusion

A lot of times, ovarian cysts don’t show any symptoms and disappear on their own without care. However, one common symptom is pain in the lower abdomen or the back.

When an ovarian cyst enlarges and starts to strain on the tissues and organs around it, pain from the cyst is frequently felt. Lower back discomfort from a cyst frequently feels dull and achy.

OTC pain relievers, a heating pad, and mild stretching are some at-home remedies for ovarian cyst-related lower back pain. These things can reduce pain, but they won’t make the cyst disappear.
