Why Am I Having Discomfort Near Where My Ovaries ?
Question: Hi, I am 17 years old. This past month i ve been having discomfort near where my ovaries are. Sometimes it happens when i cough, sneeze, or even walk. Sometimes it hurts so bad i drop to my knees and cry after few minutes it will go away. But this is an everyday thing. What is it?
Brief Answer:
Needs evaluation
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Pain in the abdomen you have must be evaluated in detail.
A detailed clinical examination will give a clue into what kind of imaging study is needed. Usually, an ultrasound scan is advised which can provide information about what is causing the pain.
It is very essential for women to get the abdomen pain evaluated at the earliest. Any cause related to uterus or ovary must be addressed as early as possible.
In case of infection to the ovaries, it can spread to local organs and cause pelvic inflammatory disease which is serious needing hospitalization.
Hope, I answered your query.
Wish you good health.
