When should I worry about cysts?
If you have pelvic pain with fever, nausea, and vomiting, it could be a sign you have an infection associated with the cyst. It can also rupture or twist — a condition called torsion.

Tell your doctor about the lumps that don’t go away in a few weeks. An infection deserves immediate medical attention. For more information, visit our clinic in Manchester, Chester, Preston.
