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!!!

I get ovarian pain also, usually in the middle of my cycle just means ur ovulating. I wouldnt be alarmed if you r getting it mid cycle & around the same time every month. It can last a few mins or a few days. If it gets more serious go back to the gyno. Hope that helps
Sometimes, you can have small cysts that drs. can't feel. They're usually not serious or cause cancer,but if they burst, it does cause pain. My mother, sister, and I have all had problems with cysts. I had to go to the emergency room a few yrs.ago because of the pain. They did all kinds of tests, except an ultasound. I didn't realize at the time that it was probably a cyst. My sister finally had to have an hysterectomy because all of her cysts and the pain. But that's how I learned the way of detecting Cysts, through an ultrasound.that was just my experience. Yours could be something totally different. Good luck.

We women have a lot going on in our pelvis...not only does our pelvis contain our reproductive organs, but also part of our gastrointestinal tract. It can be anything as simple as gas, constipation, spastic colon, etc. But follow up with your doctor. Like Catastrophia mentioned, not all ovarian cysts are palpable. (I bet most are not)
Anyway, good luck to ya and I hope you feel better!

well thanks for reassuring me, this is my first year to get ovarian pain, ever!! So it's all new to me, and I'm not even on birth control. the thing is I am due this week for periods, is it possible to ovulate, the week of your period? I am on day 27??? Thanks!!

i had an ultrasound to rule out any cysts ect, for my pelvic pain, it came up clear, well 2 weeks later ended up with a hysterectomy do to large ovarian cysts and a uterine fibroid. so its possible to have one even if the dr doesnt feel it, look at me for example.
I have had pelvic pain for about the past year that occurs the same time each month. It starts exactly 7 days from the beginning of my period and last 10-12 days. The pain starts on the lower right side and spreads through the mid pelvic area. There is a lot of bloating and the pain intensifies each month as well as each day during the month. I saw my gyn yesterday and he is puzzled. He believes it is associated with my right ovary, but not with ovulation. There is no spotting during this time. I am scheduled for an ultrasound on Oct 10, which should be during the peak of the pain. How anyone experienced or heard of such a condition?
i have been experiecing the exact same symptoms for the past 4 months, right side, starting on day 7, just as you described. I went to a gyno. he did an ultrsound and found some internal bleeding. he thought it was from a torn follicle, but that it would heal quickly. that was 4 months ago, and the cycle of pain has continued. i am going to see another doctor for a second opinion. hope your ultrasound provides some answers for you!
Get an ultrasound with an internal probe. I have ovarian pain and no cyst. Its a killer. After sex I have ACUTE pain. I had a cyst removed from that ovary but I have had pain on and off for 3 years now and it completely affects my quality of life. I am having the ovary out at the end of October.
I suggest you go to another DR and get the ultrasound. Are you seeing an Ob/gyn or GP? I recommend an ob gyn and a female if you can find one. A male ob/gyn is like having a mechanic who has never driven a car before.

I have been experienceing similiar pain....w/ the exception of time...mine is constant and annoying, accompanied by nausea and fatigue...I have had the ultrasounds and exams but "nothings wrong with me"
Being a woman can really suck sometimes!
I am still on my mission of finding out whats causing my pain and discomfort.
I have already had several cysts removed and cervical cancer as well..the procedures though uncomfortable are at least bearable. But unfortunately I dont seem to be having a repeat event so we are all stumped as to what it is exactly making me ill. They have even looked at my kidneys as a possible pain source. Have they looked at yours? Or your gall bladder? These 2 things can cause pain in the belly too near or around where ovarian pain would be.
Good luck to you!!!
Female reproductive organs & abdomens are sooo finicky!

Dear Mystic, I have the same symptoms you had described earlier. I went to the clinic but only a pelvic exam was performed and no results, I am 23 years of age and have only began experiencing this this year,. It's not near my period. I have done minimal research but have learned it is more likely to be pain from blocked intestinal region.
About 3 yrs ago I was having very painful ovarian pain. It would only be on my left side. It would feel like someone was stabbing me in my ovary. At times, the pain would be so bad I could not walk and if I would try I would hit the floor. It was the worst pain ever. I made an appt with a physician that specializes in things such as this. She examined me and said everything seemed to be ok but she scheduled an ultrasound for my left ovary. The results were as follows: My ovary was ok, my uterus lay back to one side and she didn't know why and said if the pain continues some of my ligaments may be torn and she may have to repair them. I was 22 yrs old at the time. At first we thought it was Endometriosis b/c of my family history and it wasn't. Yesterday and today I have had ovarian pain on my right side. I have never had ovarian pain on my right side. It's not as painful as the left side but it still hurts very bad. I wished the pain would go away. I got up to walk a few mins ago and I almost fell. It's just something I am going to have to deal with as all women do.
I just came from my ob/gyn. I was there for severe pain in my lower right abdomen. I had a cat scan on Friday to rule out appendicitis, and those kind of things. Nobody can explain it. I have a significant fibroid on the other side and no sign of a cyst.
The pain is just like you have been describing-sharp and on my lower right, radiates to my back and down my leg. I am glad nobody is rushing me to surgery, but I don't just want to be put on pain pills and sent away. This doesn't seem normal.

By the way, I forgot to mention, my ob doesn't seem to think the fibroid is the source of pain, since I have had is for several years and it is on the other side.....no pain now, but not looking forward to next month
I,ve been having pain in my right side for about 2 months and i haven't gotten a diagnosis.I've had an ultrasound done but nothing was found.The pain i have is on my lower right side and radiates to my lower back and down my right leg.I feel it all day and everyday , I don't know what to do. Im reaaly scared about it and i don't want it to be serious.Any answers?
Mystical,
I have had the same exact pain you are describing since July of this yr. I had my tubes tied in 1995 (after having my 3rd child) only to get pregnant in 2002. It was an ectopic pregnancy, so they removed what was left of my tubes. Since, I have had problems, but the worst started in July. It is SEVERE PAIN that starts on the left side(like someone is sticking a knife in you) which shoots down my left leg, back & whole abdomin. I sometimes fall to the floor in pain & feel like I could vomit. My stomach swells also. My poor hubby & kids have to deal w/ this. The pain lasts on/off about 12 days!
Anyway, went for laparscopy in Oct. & my doc found endo everywhere & my ovaries were polycystic (which means they are full of sev. small cysts). She was unable to detect the cysts during previous exams or see them on an ULTRASOUND!!! Had a cat scan in Sept. and that is when they were seen. Only through laparascopy was she able to diagnose this for certain. So it is possible that you have small cysts on your ovaries w/o your doc feeling them or seeing them on an ultrasound. Maybe request a CAT scan of your abdomin.
I have since been put on synthetic hormones-we'll see what happens. A friend of mine suggested I go to an alternative doc. to be treated w/ natural hormones. A last resort is a hyst(I am only 37).
Good luck & I hope you have found out what is causing your pain.

SORRY my message posted all those times! When I was trying to post it- a message came back saying that it couldn't be done b/c the thread was too old? Something to that effect.
