Q Suddenly one side of my lower abdomen hurts like it's tearing and I feel nauseous. I have a cyst. Is this okay?
A If you have an ovarian cyst and experience sudden, severe one-sided pelvic pain, nausea, and cold sweats together, it may be a sign of cyst torsion (twisting) or rupture. You should go to the emergency room or a gynecologist immediately.
Detailed Answer
If the following symptoms appear suddenly, go to an emergency room or gynecologist immediately. Do not endure it or wait it out with Korean medicine treatment. (1) Sudden, severe pain on one side of the lower abdomen accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and cold sweats - this may be ovarian cyst torsion (twisting), which cuts off the blood supply to the ovary and can cause necrosis, possibly requiring emergency surgery within hours. (2) Sudden abdominal pain together with abdominal bloating, dizziness, or low blood pressure symptoms - cyst rupture with intra-abdominal bleeding is suspected. (3) A sudden feeling of faintness or as if you might collapse while having a cyst also requires caution.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Dongjedang makes it clear that in such emergency situations, conventional medical care is absolutely the priority. The correct order is to combine Korean medicine care only after the danger has been ruled out and safety confirmed. Never delay responding to emergency warning signs.
