11. Breast Tenderness: Another Hormonal Impact of Ovarian Cysts
Breast tenderness can be another symptom related to ovarian cysts, particularly those that produce hormones. As mentioned earlier, hormone-producing cysts can cause hormonal imbalances that may result in breast tenderness, similar to what some women experience during menstruation or pregnancy.
It’s essential to note that breast tenderness can also be caused by various other factors, such as hormonal fluctuations, certain medications, or even poorly fitting bras. However, if breast tenderness persists or worsens, especially if accompanied by other symptoms on this list, seeking medical advice is crucial for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. (11)
