Why does a woman have pain in the middle of her lower abdomen?

Ovarian cysts can grow over time to the point where they become painful when you exercise or stand up after sitting still. At this time, the condition has become more serious. Because the accumulated fluid in the cyst causes the ovary to sag due to gravity, you will feel a sense of heaviness and pain when you exercise.
