Many other causes: First of all there are many other possible causes of pain in that pain. Do not assume it is an ovary. Have it evaluated.

What does it mean when the ovary on the right side of a woman hurts?

Dr. Scott Beardanswered

When?: Ovaries produce cysts each month so this normal and not usually source of pain. If its just one spot on left or right that she points to with one finger then maybe, if its an area any larger then likely bladder, intestine, endometriosis or uterine.
If the pain is a small spot and only 1-2 days a week or so after her cycle, then its ovulation pain.

Ovulation?: I you were mid-cycle, it was likely the pain of ovulation, aka: mittelschmerz. It should resolve in 48 hours with motrin. It could also be a ruptured ovarian cyst, assuming you have not missed your period or could be pregnant.

Could be related : Pain in your ovary when you sneeze can be due to normal ovulation, inflammation, a cyst; if other symptoms such as fever, pain, also could be an infection. If it persists or symptoms worsen, see your obgyn.

Possibly: Some patients do experience "mittelschmerz" or ovulation pain. However, it is important to have your doctor rule out other possible causes of pain by physical examination or pelvic sonogram.

How do you konw: It's your ovary? It may be a muscle in your abdominal wall, if having other symptoms or really concerned, check it out with your doctor, meanwhile OTC nsaids/acetaminophen, unless contraindicated, may help , good luck
