A member asked:

When i ovulate i get shooting pains up rectum?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Timothy Raichle answered

Are you sure?: You are assuming that this is related to ovulation or an ovarian cyst formation. When the pain is present, go in to see your doctor and ask about an ultrasound.
