What Causes Sharp Pain When Suffering From PCOD?
Question: Hi, I have a 19 yr old daughter that has a history of ovarian cysts. She has been for the last year getting sharp pains on her right side anytime during exercise. Its to the point of feeling like she is going to pass out. She just had two ultrasounds. No cyst. She said it was not the same pain as the ovarian cysts in the past. What should we look at next? She had a urine text for urinary tract infection that was negative.

Hi,
The ovarian cysts were both diagnosed by ultrasound and we were told they would take care of themselves. As she just had another ultrasound and they saw no other cysts then that idea is no longer viable. While looking for another cyst they also looked for signs of endrometriosis sp? There were no signs of that either.
She does have painful periods, but this is not corresponding to anytime she exercises and starts to break a sweat the pain brings her to her knees. She said it feels like she is going to pass out. She does not throw up but at that moment she feels nauseated. No fevers.
This pain has been almost a year but we were told that it may have been related to a cyst in the past. It has been 8 months had another ultrasound to rule that out. No cyst but the pains are still there.
The pain is on the right mid-abdomen.
She eats a clean diet, reduced dairy, wheat free as she had sinus issues that have been completely cleared up by changing the diet. Very little soda and junk food, not a smoker.

Brief Answer:
To get Doppler scan done
Detailed Answer:
Dear Ms
Pain in abdomen is unlikely to be due to ovarian cyst in the absence of recent demonstration of any ovarian cyst.
Possibility of intermittent torsion of ovary needs to be considered especially with the history of effort pain in abdomen. I would suggest you to get Doppler scan done to look for vascularity of ovary during attack of pain.
If the Doppler scan is too normal then there is no cause for concern.
Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Take care
Best regards

Does a general pract order a doppler scan? By torsion do you mean twisting of the ovary? Is it possible that it may not be related to the ovaries? Kidney stone etc? She has no other history of any other illness?
Thank you
Thank you
Brief Answer:
Torsion is twisting of ovary
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Even if there is Stone , it would have ideally been picked up by ultrasound scan. You are right torsion means twisting of ovary around its axis.
You can discuss it with your Gp. Next step is
1. Ultrasound and Doppler scan during onset of pain to rule out any ovarian torsion or any hydroureter due to calculi
It is important to time the scan during attack of pain
