Which symptom is commonly associated with a ruptured ovarian cyst?

Severe knee pain
Localized, one-sided lower abdominal pain
Nausea and vomiting
Loss of appetite

The correct answer is: Localized, one-sided lower abdominal pain

The symptom commonly associated with a ruptured ovarian cyst is localized, one-sided lower abdominal pain. When an ovarian cyst ruptures, it can cause sharp or sudden pain in the lower abdomen, typically on the side where the cyst was located. This pain may vary in intensity and can be exacerbated by movement or certain positions. The localized aspect of the pain is important because it helps to differentiate the condition from other abdominal issues that could cause generalized pain. In some cases, patients may also experience additional symptoms such as nausea, but the hallmark sign remains the localized pain.
