I'm having pain in my lower abdomen over my ovaries. Any one have any guess as to what is causing it?

I believe that you need to see a doctor as soon as possible. I would explain the symptoms to the receptionist so that she will realize the importance of your situation. The symptoms that you describe: ovarian cysts,ovarian tumor(which could be multiple cysts formed on the ovary). I know the word tumor sounds strong yet I recommend that you seek help soon. If this releases any anxiety-ovarian cancer is very slow growing-it develops over many years.On the other hand ovarian cysts are quick growing and many women do not even realize they have any. I have had an ovarian tumor and cysts. The tumor was the size of a grapefruit and benign-it was multiple cysts growing on one ovary.The ovarian cysts that I would get, on the other ovary-would sometimes "burst" on their own. Prior to the cyst "bursting" I would have extreme pain and after the "bursting" the pain would be gone.It is not uncommon for females to have ovarian cysts. In both scenarios-my period would become erratic,such as no periods and then having periods two weeks apart etc. In any event, I again would recommend you see a Dr. as soon as possible and if the pain becomes intense-be seen in the emergency room. I hope this helps.

You have several possibilities here depending on whether the pain is chronic (there all the time or recurring) or acute (only incidental) and the severity of the pain.\n\nIf it just started and is a bit of an ache, you may be ovulating.  Many women feel a distinct pain when they ovulate, and it can last anywhere from several hours to several days.\n\nYou could also have an ovarian cyst.  These are generally quite painful, most notably characterized by a constant dull ache with occasional severe pain spikes.  \n\nIn addition to these, it may be something as common as internal gas or some type of smooth muscle cramping.\n\nIf you are still hurting in day or so, or if the pain gets worse, call your doctor or gyno to make sure there's not anything funky going on down there.

Have they done an ultrasound on your ovaries? From what you describe, it sounds like ovarian cysts, or fibroids. Maybe you can ask your GP to refer you to an endocrinologist, they might be able to help you out. In the meantime you could take Evening Primrose Oil, 1 capsule 3 times a day, you should be able to find it at any health food store, or anyplace that sells natural supplements. I have Polycystic Ovarian Disease, and I found that this was the best treatment for the pain.( if you find it doesn't work, have your GP prescribe Anaprox, it's also a very good pain reliever)\n\n\n Good Luck to you and I hope you feel better.

Lower abdominal pain can be caused also by pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) caused by STD infections. One chlamydia infection may not have caused that but it isn't impossible. Other things that can cause lower abdominal pain are cysts, fibroids, endometriosis, etc. You can observe and chart the pain you have and when in your monthly menstrual cycle. If you have it again you need to see a doctor. Mid cycle pain can be ovulation pain which isn't anything to worry about. \n\nHope it is only a one time temporary thing, but if it continues you do need to seek medical advice so that you treat it early.

Pain in the abodmen is usually refered pain from a region of your gut or viscera surrounding it. Pain around the umbilicus is usually associated with appendicitis. As it progresses, the pain shoots downwards and right to your appendix. \n\nHowever pain in the lower abdomen is usually referred to as colicky pain. This could be due to overproduction of gas as a result from bacterial metabolism in the gut. This could be due to problems such as lactose intolerance or indigestion. Stop drinking milk or milk based products and refrain from legumes ie long beans or any kind of beans. IF THE PAIN PERSISTS, REFER TO YOUR PHYSICIAN.

You need to seek the advice of your physician. There are many things that could be associated with this description. You may have Irritable Bowel Syndrome or you may be having the early signs of Gall Bladder problems. A physician would need to exam you to determine the actual cause accurately. It can not be diagnosed over the Internet.\n\nSee you physician for diagnosis. Good luck.

You can find a layman's Abdominal Pain evaluation detailed at\n\nhttp://www.webmd.com/content/article/90/100640.htm\n\nor others at\n\nhttp://search.yahoo.com/search?p=%22abdominal+pain%22+assessment&fr=FP-tab-web-t403&toggle=1&cop=&ei=UTF-8\n\nBUT if you are in THAT DEGREE of pain, you really SHOULD at least CALL your physician, TALK to at least a Nurse.\n\nFor a young lady, there are MULTIPLE possibilities there, YES, one of which is a TUBAL pregnancy (which CAN be FATAL), along with the ever-popular APPENDICITIS (which can ALSO be FATAL).\n\nDo yourself a favor you might LIVE to regret: CALL YOUR DOC!\n\nBest wishes.

The cause of abdominal problems can be hard to pinpoint. Sometimes minor and serious abdominal problems start with the same symptoms. Fortunately, most abdominal problems are minor, and home treatment is all that is needed.\n\nMany times the exact cause of abdominal pain is difficult to determine. The severity of your pain, its location, and other symptoms you have may help determine what is causing the pain.\n\n    * Generalized pain occurs in half of the abdomen or more. Generalized pain can occur with many different illnesses and will usually go away without medical treatment. Indigestion and the stomach flu are common problems that can cause generalized abdominal pain. Home treatment may help relieve some of the discomfort. Generalized mild pain or crampy pain that becomes more severe over several hours may be a symptom of a blockage of the intestines (bowel obstruction).\n    * Localized pain is located in one area of the abdomen. Localized pain that comes on suddenly and is getting worse is more likely to be a symptom of a serious problem. The pain of appendicitis may start as generalized pain but often localizes to one area of the abdomen. The pain from gallbladder disease or peptic ulcer disease often starts in one area of the abdomen and remains in the same location. Localized pain that gradually becomes more severe may be a symptom of inflammation of an abdominal organ.\n    * Cramping, which can be very painful, is rarely serious if it is relieved by passing gas or a stool. Many women have cramping pain with their periods. Unless it gets worse, lasts for longer than 24 hours, or localizes, generalized cramping pain is usually not cause for concern. Cramping that starts suddenly with diarrhea or other minor health problems can be quite painful but is usually not serious.\n\nOccasionally, severe pain that develops suddenly may be a symptom of rupture of the stomach or intestines (perforation), torsion of the testicle or ovary, a kidney stone, gallbladder disease, or blood flow problems. The pain caused by appendicitis or gallbladder disease may increase with movement or coughing. Pain that increases with movement or coughing and does not appear to be caused by strained muscles is more likely to be a symptom of a serious problem. A visit to a health professional is usually needed when severe abdominal pain comes on suddenly, or new and different mild pain slowly becomes more severe over several hours or days.\n\nAfter a minor abdominal injury, pain, nausea, or vomiting may occur but usually improves in a few minutes. Pain and other symptoms that continue, increase, or develop following an injury may mean an abdominal organ has been damaged.\n\nMany medications can cause abdominal pain. Some medications also cause side effects, such as constipation, that can make abdominal pain worse.\n\nReview the Emergencies and Check Your Symptoms sections to determine if and when you need to see a health professional.

it could be a number of things.  endometriosis, cyst, fibroid, fluid, swelling, PID.  If you are in severe pain and can not get to your doctors office then you need to goto the ER.  To be on the safe side.  Good luck!  I hope you feel better.  You could try webmd and see if you see anything on there.

You are ovulating. The pain should be confined to one side of your abdomen.

The body has "normal" aches and pains, as well as pain that needs to be diagnosed.\nIf yours if just an ache, I wouldn't be concerned unless it last or gets worse.\nDo you have a fever? nausea? vomiting?diarrhea?constipation?\nYour symptoms are too vague to give an absolute answer here.  Yes, it could be ovulation or constipation or a stomach "bug"\nI would wait it out and see what happens before calling the doctor.

IANAD, but according to the Mayo Clinic's site:\n\n"Pain here [in the lower left abdomen] most often suggests a problem in the lower colon, where food waste is expelled. Possible causes include inflammatory bowel disease or an infection in the colon known as diverticulitis."\n\nBut here's hoping it's something more minor than that =)

First off,since you already had it diagnosed prior to renewing your insurance it may be considered a pre exsisting condition and may still not be covered by insurance.  You will need to check this out.\nSecondly,the stool is probably coincidental  and only related to something you ate.\nThirdly,ovarian cysts are painful and because it is attached to your ovary which probably just got through ovulating prior to your period this is making it feel more painful.\nBeing in your period and the hormones that are racing through your body at this time could possibly make it more painful.\nOvarian cysts can swell during this time but can reduce in size after your period is over and thusly may quit being so painful.\nOvarian cysts for the most part are benign though bothersome.\nThey can rupture on thier own as did mine and when they do,that will be painful as well but the pain does not last but for a short time.\nYes I suppose there could be the chance of infection though I think the incidence is small.\nThe ovarian cyst is usually just full of yellowish fluid that would be absorbed by the body should they burst.\nThey could operate on you while you are on your period but I don't think surgery is really indicated at this time.\nI would think that a Dr would give you some medicine that might help to reduce the cyst and possibly pain meds and or antibiotics.\nUnless you are running fever I wouldn't be too concerned about the cyst at this time except for the pain.\nShould you have fever,there could be the possibility of an ectopic pregnancy or pregnancy in the tube.  I hope that you have received a proper diagnosis and at this point I think a second opinion might be called for.\nYou could still have a regular period if you had an ectopic pregnancy since the uterus is not harboring the fetus.\nEctopic pregnancies can be dangerous to the woman and because of this and because of the amount of pain you are complaining about I think it would be most important at this point to have this ruled out.

Have you been checked for ovarian cysts? The nausea could be caused by a cyst.  It might be worth talking to your doctor about getting a pelvic ultra sound done to be sure there are no masses or growths on your uterus or your ovaries causing all the problems.
