Sabine answered Wednesday May 2 2007, 9:34 pm: There are a few things this could mean. Most likely, she had a fluid-filled cyst on her ovary and the cyst burst open. That can really hurt. The reason her ovary itself might burst are three: one, if she had an infection and the ovary ruptured, two, if she had a cyst form inside the ovary and then become too big and the ovary burst, or, three, if she had an ectopic pregancy (in the fallopian tube). In the third case, it'd be her fallopian tube, not her ovary itself, that burst most likely. However, by far, the most likely is that she had an ovarian cyst burst.
Sometimes surgery is required to fix those. Sometimes they can prevent more cysts with birth control pills.
