What is ovariorrhexis?

Ovarian rupture, or ovariorrhexis, occurs when there is a tear or rupture in one of the ovaries. It is a rare complication that can occur during pregnancy, childbirth, or certain medical procedures involving the ovaries. There may not always be symptoms associated with ovarian rupture. If symptoms do occur, they may include:

- Sudden and severe abdominal or pelvic pain

- Nausea and vomiting

- Fever

- Low blood pressure

- Rapid heart rate

- Dizziness or fainting

- Weakness

- Pain during intercourse or urination

If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention immediately as ovarian rupture can have serious consequences if left untreated.
