Ovary pains?
ovary pains?
Hi every so often for the past 6 or 7 years i get a pain around my ovaries well at least i think its there its on my right one. It only hurts when i have sex mainly and sometimes if i tense my stomache ie, going to toilet etc.
Anybody else experienced this, i no its not a std or anything, but it comes every so often i dunno if its quite every month or so but its happened alot of times.?

If it happens mid cycle, it's probably just Mittelschmerz a.k.a. ovulation pain. I get it for about 1-4 days mid month, and it can be as painful as cramps from my period and for some reason usually my left ovary.
If you feel worried at all, talk to your family doctor about it. It's better to be safe than sorry.

It could be many things. Are you sure it is your ovary? Could be an infection (a non-STD infection if you are sure you don't have one, like bacterial vaginosis). Ovarian cysts are a painful condition. Some go away on thier own, with your monthly cycle, while some stay around and are painful. Because the pain is mostly present during sex, it could be fibroids, which are basically harmless growths in your pelvic area, but are very painful, especially during sex. Are your periods heavy and crampy? Could also be a sign of cysts or fibroids. There is also a condition called endometriosis, which is the abnormal growth of uterine tissue in places it shouldn't grow, like your ovaries or fallopian tubes. Symptoms of this are pelvic pain and heavy periods. I would see your gyno to rule out an infection or anything serious and he or she would probably have you get a pelvic ultasound to take a look.

Yes, I have had pain around my ovary before. A friend of mine is going thru this right now as well.
The only way to find out for sure what is going on is to have this evaluated by your dr to see if they can help you figure out what could be going on. One possibility for this pain is endometriosis.
