Possibly: Ovarian torsion occurs when the ovary twists on its blood supply. It is a surgical emergency as the blood flow needs to be restored or the ovary will die. If it was your only remaining ovary, that would cause sterility.

Here are some ...: Ovarian torsion leading to the loss of the affected ovary will negatively impact the odd to conceive, which is similar to that after testicular torsion in men, but the studies on ovarian torsion have been not as thorough as that for testes due to their difference in accessibility with ovaries being inside and testes being outside.
