Pain in left ovary area

I have had this sharp pain in my lower left ovary area for about three days now.  The pain comes and goes and varies in range.  Sometimes it is very painful other times it is a dull pain.  There is no weird discharge.  Any idea what it could be?

If it is filled with blood, it is endometriosis, I have stage 4 which is the most severe form. There is no cure so just keep an eye on the pain and ensure you get a good gyno. I have had one laparoscopy to remove bilateral ovarian cysts both about 4cm filled with blood, and one laparotomy to remove one major cyst 12cm large filled with blood.

Who takes birth control ? And how long have you been on/off it for? I think this can something to do with birth control because I've never had this problem and I just started getting pain in my left ovary and I just started taking birth control like 4 months ago.

I also have PCOS. PCOS is Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. So yeah, you have cysts in your ovaries. There can be a few or there can be a classic case of them lining your entire ovary.

I too have been having severe pain in the left ovary region which comes in waves and moves around my lower back area and lasts for anything from 10 Mins to a few hours then stops for weeks at a time. I went to hospital and I was prescribed a course of antibiotics in case of infection but was advised that it could be kidney stones.  The pain remained and after visiting my GP she put me on yet another course of antibiotics and arranged for an ultra scan that came back normal. I am now awaiting another hospital appointment for further gynaecological investigations. I will. Keep you posted!
