A member asked:

Why have my ovaries have been hurting ever since i started running?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ovarian suspension: The ovaries are "suspended" in space and attached to the uterus and pelvic side wall with a ligament( "guide wire"). Gravity can have painful consequences when running, as "bouncing the ovaries are similar to testicular "bouncing"- not a good feeling.That is why men wear athletic supporters, and athletic women can use some abdominal "support".

I started running 4 months ago. Just recently I started having pain in my groin/thigh (also outer thigh close to my pelvis) in both legs. This pain won't allow me to run anymore. When I try, I "limp run". I have a 5k race in 2w so I'm devastated. :(?
