A member asked:

I'm on birth control and am on my period (sugar pills) and am having pain around my ovary area, is this normal? could it just be hormones?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cannot diagnose: Without a full history and exam it is impossible to say what this is. It may be ovarian cyst, early onset of a variety of other conditions. If this passes would ignore it, but if it returns with any regularity a visit to your gynecologist would not be inappropriate. Best wishes.
