What Causes Abdominal Pain During Intercourse?

i have had pain so bad while having sex with my husband we have had to stop. Been to doctors had pap smears, scans of ovaries, liver. The only result was my right ovary is deffinitely larger in size than my left. I have had this pain for 4 months now.I feel it constantlty in my abdominal area right where my right ovary is. I also experience pain , sharp , under my right rib too, Please help with any information as to what else it may be?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
A simple test of such a pain is :::
An examination by the Gynecologist.- on manual per-vaginal examination id the pain is elicited the Gynecologist can definitely tell whether this is the right ovary or something else. The pain under the rib can be a referred one or can have local problems like costo-chondritis.
A CT scan can help to find or rule out other causes of dyspareunia- painful sex.

Occasionally this can have a stress or fear or some psychological problem if there is no organic lesion found.

Sometimes a diagnostic Laparosopy can help to find and treat the cause.
