A member asked:

My period ended on monday, however i am feeling some needle like sticking pain at my left ovary. what does this mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It could be: Needle like sticking pain in the left lower quadrant could be due to ovulation but it could also be due to the irritation of a nerve or a musculoskeletal problem. If it is ovulation, it should resolve over the next few days. If it doesn't, you need to be seen to check it out. Hope this helps.
