A member asked:

Can you die from a twisted ovary?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Gerard Honore answered

Specializes in Fertility Medicine

An emergency: It's not impossible, but death from torsion is pretty unlikely. What is not unlikely with untreated torsion is loss of the ovary with major surgery. Ovarian torsion is a surgical emergency.
