left side abdominal pain?

Question

I am having pain in my lower left side, kind of over my hip area, I had a ruptured cyst about 4 years ago on that side and the pain is in the same area so I'm assuming its got to do with my ovaries, I'm on cycle day 25 of a normal 28 day cycle so it shouldn't really be a cyst because I'm way past ovulation? anyone else had this? it hurts pretty badly and ibuprophen isn't doing much.

Answer 1

You need to see a doctor right away if Ibuprofen isn't working for your pain. You may have another ovarian cyst (they do reoccur and they do dot go down after ovulation) or you may have an infection, there may also be other reasons for your pain. Either way you need to be assessed by a doctor now. See your doctor today or go to your nearest ER if the pain gets worse.

Answer 2

About 6 to 8 months ago I did, my friend was a nurse and told me that the pain had to do with my ovulation because it only hurt when I was on my period. I finally went the Dr with the problem and they did an ultrasound and found a 4 inch mass on my ovary that was still growing and was causing the pain. Turns out (and no I do not have an STD) that I had a urinary tract infection that I was unaware of so never got treated and it infected, my ovary. They were able to get everything out, but at the loss of one ovary. They did save my other though. If you haven't been to the OB/GYN, I would go. I waited through 6 months of pain. It's not worth it, trust me. Good luck, hopefully everything will turn out ok and sorry for the TMI (to much info).

Answer 3

I had this same pains and when I finaly went to the doctor I found out I had a tumer on my ovarie and it had to be removed so you should go see a dorctor just to be safe

Answer 4

Do you still have your appendix? That was my first thought.
Go to the doctor or emergency room as soon as possible.
