What Causes Sharp Lower Abdominal Pain?

For the last 3 days I've been having sharp pain in my left ovary (or what it seems like).

I am 27 y.o. my mentruation is due sometime next week however this doesn't feel like the normal dull, achy pains, it's more of a sharp pain, especially when I sit down. Should I be concerned?

Hi.
Thanks for your query. Read the history and understood the problems.


Yes, you should be concerned.
This is because your history is very specific of a sharp pain in the left lower abdomen / pelvis , you are 27 years- young woman, menstruation is due next week.

The probable causes are:
-Twisted ovarian cyst
-Salpingitis
- Lower Ureteric stone and UTI

I would advise you the following:
Urgent ultrasonography of the whole abdomen and pelvis.
Examination by a Gynecologist
Investigations related to the blood, urine and stool.
These will help to get a specific diagnosis and plan for a treatment.
I find this answer helpful
