Ovarian pain???
hello,
I have a concern, lately since jnauray of this year once a month I have been going through what I think is ovarian pain. it's always on my left side, it feels like cramping but it hurts really bad, it starts around my lower stomach and radiates down my legs, and as of yesterday around my lower left back area. Sometimes it lasts an hour to all day. yesterday it lasted for 4 hours where everytime i got up to walk the pain would start it would be sharp, and sometimes i would be doubled over. it also felt like i would start my period as well, but nothing happened. I have tried looking up ovarian pain on google, but it keeps brining up cysts, or ovarian cancer, i don't think I have either, but this pain is annoying, so any reccomendations on what to take to stop the pain.
I went in last month for a pap smear, and they didn't feel any cysts on my ovaries at all!! So please help!!!

Go see a doctor. You should not be experiencing pain like that except perhaps during your period if you get severe cramps.
You describe as having it since December - has it been continuous?
Really, you should get an appointment as it could be any one of a dozen or more things causing it - perhaps something simple, perhaps something more serious, but you will never know until you get checked out.
I will say, once you hit puberty, you are very rarely Too Young to get anything - your chances may be less than someone of another age group, but the chances are still there - whatever your age.
Hope you get to a doctor and are pain free again soon.

Hi I'm alyssa. I'm 15 years old and i have been experiencing a very crampy and almost congested pain in my left ovary area since December. Sometimes it suddenly hurts so bad i have to sit on the floor in a ball until it goes away. The area feels swollen inside but does not appear so outside. Does anyone have any idea what this could be? I'm not sure its a cyst because i thought that that can't happen to someone so young?
Hi there,
Although you are experiencing pain in the area of your ovary, your pain may actually be muscular in origin. What you are describing sounds like it may be a trigger point in your iliopsoas muscle. Your iliopsoas is a muscle that is the prime mover when you flex your hip (so walking can be quite painful). Trigger points are tender points in your muscle that are caused by increased tension in your muscle, you might have heard them referred to as "knots". When active, they can cause radiating pain and cramping. Every muscle in your body can get these painful trigger points with improper posture or just increased tension, what causes them to become active/especially painful is different for everyone. There are a lot of muscles in that area of your body, so there are a number of possible diagnoses, either way, pelvic pain is not fun to deal with. Without an evaluation, it would be hard to say what exactly is causing this pain, but I would suggest seeing a physical therapist, especially one who specializes in women's health. You might be surprised at the amount of pain your muscles can cause, and how much help manual therapy to the area might be!
This can really go out to anyone with pelvic pain. I am not dismissing the fact such conditions as cysts, tumors, endometriosis, etc. are not a possibilities, and you should always rule these out by seeing a physician. However, if after treatment you still have pain, there are a number of issues causing your pain that a Women's Health PT may be able to alleviate.
