What could possibly cause my left ovary to hurt? i could feel my lymph node on my vagina when it swells. even when i laugh or cough, it hurts bad.

Specializes in Emergency Medicine

Possibilities..: How can you be certain it is the ovary? Also you should be evaluated for an inguinal hernia which is not common in women but still a possibility. If both pains on the left you might be mistaking lymph nodes and ovary for a hernia.
