Pain in the left ovary

Pain in the left ovary - a paired female organ in which viable eggs are formed, and hormone production occurs that regulates the entire reproductive female system - can occur for a number of reasons. At different periods in the life of a woman, the ovaries behave differently - this is evident from changes in their functional activity, reactions to hormonal preparations, and anatomic age-related changes. Often, an incorrectly accepted hormonal drug or any failure in the reproductive system can be affected by pain in the left ovary.

Causes of the pain in the left ovary

The most common causes of pain in this organ are:

• oophoritis is an inflammatory process that affects the left appendage of the ovary. Usually, pain is felt in the lower abdomen on the left side and may radiate to the lumbosacral vertebral part. Pain sensations are often paroxysmal, but they can be present all the time. With reduced immunity, overcooling of the body, psychological or physical fatigue, the pain may increase, and the woman as a result will experience problems with sleep, appetite, positive attitude;
• pain in the left ovary may occur due to such an inflammatory disease of the ovary as adnexitis . The main causative agents of adnexitis are ureaplasma, mycoplasma, chlamydia, and candida. If the patient does not conduct proper treatment of the disease, then the consequences of the disease can result in infertility. The pain manifests itself in periods and may radiate to the lower back;

• rupture of the left ovary . This usually happens during ovulation. The rupture is accompanied by bleeding, and blood entering the abdominal cavity is fraught with peritonitis and pain in the left ovary;
• adhesive processes in the ovaries are able to deliver a lot of pain to a woman;

• The peri-ovulatory period, accompanied by irritation of the abdominal cavity with follicular fluid and lasting for 12-36 hours, is fraught with ovulatory pain in the left ovary;
• ovarian hyperstimulation - a period when a woman suffering from infertility is prone to taking hormonal drugs (gonadotropins, clomiphene). During the beginning of the treatment stage, the patient may talk about pain in the left ovary;

Every woman who cares about her health should be examined by a gynecologist at least 2 times a year. A gynecologist will be able to identify certain diseases only by simply pressing the ovary area (this usually happens if there is a tumor or a cyst). A more accurate picture, giving an idea of the possible diseases of women, will help to detect some gynecological studies. Magnetic resonance therapy, ultrasound, laparoscopy and other procedures can permanently relieve the patient from pain in the left ovary.
