How can I relieve pain from an ovarian cyst?
If you have pelvic pain from your ovarian cyst, you can take over-the-counter painkillers such as ibuprofen or paracetamol. Always read the patient information leaflet that comes with your medication before taking it and ask your pharmacist if you have any questions.
A heating pad or warm bath, gentle stretching, and relaxation techniques such as deep breathing can also help with pelvic pain.
If your pain is sudden, severe or getting worse, seek immediate medical attention.
