I just read the first post and it sounds similar to my experience, although, I only feel this extreme pain in my lower abdimine and get a cold sweat along with wanting to faint about a minute after intercourse.I have an app. With my doctor in two more days yet I'm anxious to know what could possibly giving me this pain? I'm 22,weigh 198, & 5'7". Could I have ovarian cysts?

Hi there
it sounds like you are really scared.
you shouldsee your primary care doctor for a good exam and counseling.
at age 19 , the main things you should do is set good health habits.work on getting yourself to your ideal body weight
at 5'4'', ideal body weight is 120 lbs

obesity is the leading cause of health problems - skeletal injury, pain, many cancers including breast, endometrial, and ovarian, heart disease,diabetes.

working with your primary care for a diet and exercise program is the absolute single most important intervention you can do
