Miley Cyrus's 'Excruciating' Ovarian Cyst Rupture: What Are the Warning Signs?
Pop star Miley Cyrus recently revealed she endured an ovarian cyst rupture during a New Year's Eve party she hosted. The singer-songwriter said the ordeal was excruciating and she needed emergency medical attention. Ovarian cysts are very common and often resolve on their own, but larger cysts that rupture can be life threatening. Pop music hitmaker Miley Cyrus recently shared that she experienced a ruptured ovarian cyst, a painful ordeal that can result in a medical emergency. The 32-year-old singer-songwriter and actress revealed the news during an appearance on The Zane Lowe Show, which streamed on Apple Music 1 on May 21. The 'Flowers' singer said the ovarian cyst rupture occurred while she was hosting Miley's New Year's Eve Party with her godmother and country music legend Dolly Parton. 'I had a pretty traumatic experience on a show that I was doing with [Lorne Michaels] when I was doing my New Year's show,' she said during the interview. 'I had a medical emergency. I had an ovarian cyst rupture. We didn't know exactly what was going on, so we did it.' 'It was pretty traumatic because it was extremely excruciating, and I did the show anyway,' she added. 'But it was really, really hard on me.' Cyrus is among a number of celebrities who've shared their experiences with ovarian cysts, People reports. Others include: Hailey Bieber, Kate Beckinsale, Hilary Swank, Lena Dunham, and others. Ovarian cysts are common and often resolve on their own. Larger cysts, however, can be extremely painful and, in some cases, life threatening, if a rupture occurs. Healthline spoke with Yen Hope Tran, DO, OB-GYN at MemorialCare Orange Coast Medical Center in Fountain Valley, CA, to learn more about ovarian cysts and when to seek medical attention. Ovarian cysts: Why some are more dangerous than others Tran: Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that form on or inside the ovaries. They're most common during the reproductive years and often develop as a normal part of the menstrual cycle, called 'functional cysts.' These typically resolve on their own. However, other types — such as dermoid cysts, endometriomas, or cystadenomas — can be more complex and carry a higher risk of complications like rupture, torsion, or persistent pain. Cysts larger than 5–10 centimeters, those with solid components or septations, or those associated with symptoms may require closer monitoring or surgical intervention. What are the common warning signs of an ovarian cyst? Tran: Most ovarian cysts are asymptomatic. However, warning signs may include: pelvic or abdominal pain (especially on one side) bloating or pressure changes in menstrual cycles pain during intercourse frequent or urgent urination (if the cyst presses on the bladder) If a cyst ruptures, symptoms may include: sudden, sharp pelvic pain abdominal distention nausea or vomiting dizziness or fainting (especially if there is internal bleeding) low blood pressure or rapid heartbeat (in severe cases) What medical conditions might be mistaken for ovarian cysts? Tran: Several conditions can mimic the symptoms of ovarian cysts, including: appendicitis ectopic pregnancy pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) endometriosis urinary tract infections kidney stones gastrointestinal issues (i.e., diverticulitis or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)) A thorough pelvic exam and imaging — typically a transvaginal ultrasound — can help distinguish between these conditions. How are ovarian cysts typically treated? Tran: Treatment depends on the type, size, and symptoms of the cyst. Observation is appropriate for many simple cysts, especially in premenopausal women. Hormonal birth control can be used to reduce recurrence of functional cysts. Surgical removal may be recommended for persistent, large, complex, or symptomatic cysts. If a cyst ruptures, mild cases may be managed conservatively with pain medication and observation. Moderate to severe cases — especially with internal bleeding or signs of infection — may require hospitalization, IV fluids, or emergency surgery. How do you know when an ovarian cyst is dangerous? Tran: Seek emergency care if you experience: sudden, severe pelvic or abdominal pain pain with fever and vomiting signs of internal bleeding (fainting, weakness, low blood pressure) rapid breathing or heart rate Dangerous cysts are typically large, complex, or rapidly growing, or occur in postmenopausal women. A provider can assess the risk through ultrasound findings, blood tests like CA-125, and symptom evaluation.

Miley Cyrus reveals ‘excruciating' health battle in new interview
Miley Cyrus dealt with a painful health scare while co-hosting 'Miles's New Year's Eve Party' with Dolly Parton to ring in 2023. 'I had a pretty traumatic experience on a show that I was doing with Lorne [Michaels] when I was doing my New Year's show,' the singer said during an appearance on Wednesday's episode of The Zane Lowe Show. 'I had a medical emergency. I had an ovarian cyst rupture. We didn't know exactly what was going on so we did it.' The Flowers hitmaker, 32, added, 'It was pretty traumatic because it was extremely excruciating and I did the show anyway. But it was really, really hard on me.' Cyrus hosted the 2023 NBC New Year's Eve celebration alongside her godmother Parton and co-executive produced the special alongside SNL boss Michaels, reports Page Six. Per Johns Hopkins, ovarian cysts can develop for various reasons and most are 'harmless.' Though some can cause more severe symptoms, including lower abdominal pain and bleeding, which would require immediate treatment. Cyrus said the health scare made her consider walking away from the music industry, but she recalled having a discussion with Michaels. 'I had dinner with Lorne and he said something that now has stuck with me,' she said. 'He goes, 'Six months. Everybody has six months to feel sorry for themselves and then we start to rebuild.'' She continued, 'He's like, 'You have no idea how many artists have sat in this chair and told me they were quitting music. Everyone does this, everyone has these traumatic experiences.'' Cyrus has since regrouped and her new album, Something Beautiful, is set for release later this month. During the interview, the Grammy winner also addressed her Reinke's edema vocal cord condition when asked about the possibility of going on tour. 'I have this very large polyp on my vocal cord, which has given me a lot of the tone and the texture that has made me who I am,' the pop star told Lowe. 'But it's extremely difficult to perform with it, because it's like running a marathon with ankle weights.'

Miley Cyrus, 32, cuts a casual figure in a trendy crop top as she is seen for the first time since revealing her traumatising emergency health scare
Miley Cyrus cut a casual figure in a trendy crop top as she was seen for the first time since she revealed her traumatising emergency health scare. The three-time Grammy winner, 32, explained on The Zane Lowe Show that she was on tour in 2023 she had an ovarian cyst rupture. And now the Tennessee-native has been spotted for the first time since her harrowing story as she was seen taking a stroll around LA on Wednesday. For her outing, she looked relaxed as she paired her black cropped top with a pair of black Adidas tracksuit trousers. She added a hint of glamour to her look as she slipped into a pair of black leather Chanel Mary Jane flats. Keeping a low profile, Miley accessorised her look with a pair of large yellow-tinted aviator sunglasses. Miley finished her look with a myriad of silver chain jewellery and she slicked her blonde locks into a messy bun. When the songstress first opened up about her medical woe, she explained she was working with her godmother Dolly Parton on her TV special Miley's New Year's Eve Party when her health disaster struck. The End of the World singer said she 'had a pretty traumatic experience on a show that I was doing with' SNL creator Lorne Michaels. Miley said, 'I had a medical emergency - I had an ovarian cyst rupture - we didn't know exactly what was going on so we did it. 'It was pretty traumatic because it was extremely excruciating and I did the show anyway.' The Slide Away songstress also explained that performing on stage with the ailment 'was really really hard on' her. In the interview, she also talked about staying sober, and what a massive impact her life day-to-day. Miley, who gave up marijuana and alcohol over the past 10 years, explained, 'I need it. I live for it. It's changed my entire life.' 'I've learned this about myself over the years: sobriety is, like, that's like my God', she added. On the NBC special - which past featured appearances from Paris Hilton, Sia and David Byrne - Miley and the beloved music legend Dolly collaborated on three of their iconic hits: Miley's Wrecking Ball and Dolly's Jolene and I Will Always Love You. The Mayo Clinic defines ovarian cysts as 'sacs, usually filled with fluid, in an ovary or on its surface. Ovarian cysts are common, and most of the time will be harmless and not require any oversight from a medical professional, the clinic reported. According to the Mayo Clinic, 'There's no way to prevent most ovarian cysts [but], regular pelvic exams help ensure that changes in your ovaries are diagnosed as early as possible. The clinic advised to 'be alert to changes in your monthly cycle' and 'make a note of unusual menstrual symptoms, especially ones that go on for more than a few cycles;' and to 'talk to your health care provider about changes that concern you.'
