What Causes Pain In Left-sided Abdomen Near The Hip After An Ovarian Cyst?
Question: I have a pain on my left side abdomen, near hip. It started 8 days ago. It got worst until day 5 and then lessened and has never left. On day 7 I started my menstrual cycle. The pain, l expected to stop. It has not. It is a continuous dull ache. On Day 5, it was towards my back and down my leg a bit. Currently, It's a dull ache and shows up more when I move certain directions. The first time my doctor can see me is in one week. Do I need to be checked sooner? I had an ovarian cyst on that side 8 years ago that my doctor expressed during surgery for another issue. I have not ever had this pain before. I am 45.
Brief Answer:
Pelvic pathology or muscular pain

Hi dear,

Pain at that site can be due to pelvic pathology like infection, ovarian cyst or can be due to muscular or ligament stretch.
Since the pain is dull aching, there is no need of any urgent action.
You should get examined properly and investigated accordingly at your scheduled visit.
