Why do my ovaries hurt so much?

How do you know?: This is a common complaint for obgyns. I always ask "how do you know it is your ovaries?" your ovaries are two very small organs deep in your pelvis. The rest of the pelvis is filled with intestines and your uterus making those two organs more common causes of pelvic pain. Schedule a visit to discuss all the different causes of pelvic pain.

Abdominal Pain: Abdominal pain in women can be caused by so many things. If the pain is always with your periods, then it could be ruptured ovarian cysts. But it could be one of a multitude of problems. Get it checked by your ob/gyn first and foremost.

PELVIC pain?: During or near menstruation or not? Pelvic pain ( includes uterus, tubes and ovaries) hurt during ovulation, or during excessive menstruation if pt has endometriosis, or due to fibroids or uterine polyps. Pelvic inflammatory disease or other intraabdominally disorder.R/o crohn's or colonic dis., pelvic cancers, adhesions etc. Always r/o pregnancy.

Several reasons: Pain in your lower abdomen, or pelvis, could be from your ovaries; but it could also be from other parts of your body (uterus, bladder, intestines etc.) or other conditions. Finding out why you are having pain really requires evaluation by your doctor.
