A member asked:

I had my period on feb 1. i had spotting for 3/d. and pain on both ovaries for 7 days on and off also lower back pain. why does my ovaries hurt?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ovarian cysts: It might be that the period was not actually a period and ovarian cysts might explain the discomfort. This is a good enough reason to consult your ob/gyn and see if you need to be seen for an exam, cultures, and an ultrasound.
