Pain in the right ovary

Pain in the right ovary cannot be a false signal.

Sometimes it is caused by a mild illness that can go away on its own, and sometimes it is a "cry" for help from the body. Often this "cry" is too "loud" that it is impossible to endure. And there is no need to endure! As an emergency painkiller, you can resort to tablets "No-Spa", "Analgin", "Ketone". But again, these tablets will only temporarily relieve the spasm, and the problem can only be solved by eliminating it.

The female reproductive system is somewhat different from the male one, and not only in its external features. The female body is more susceptible to the influence of various factors (hypothermia, viral diseases, including STDs, fungal diseases, etc.) than the male one. As for the ovaries, the female reproductive function depends on them to a greater extent.

Causes of pain in the right ovary

• oophoritis – can provoke pain in the right ovary. What is it? Oophoritis is an inflammatory process in the right ovarian appendage. The inflammation itself can occur for many different reasons: infection, cold, stress, decreased immunity, physical activity;
• there is another variant of the inflammatory process - adnexitis of the right ovary. The causative agents of such a disease can be: chlamydia, candidiasis, mycoplasmosis, ureaplasmosis. In this situation, the pain can cover not only the lower right abdomen, but even reach the lower back. It is better not to joke with such symptoms, as this can lead to permanent infertility! Only tests and competent treatment can solve the problem,
• polycystic, if you literally consider "poly" - "many". And the ending is already clear - cyst. That is, cyst in the plural. If we consider polycystic ovary disease with computer diagnostics, the ovary looks like a ball filled with small (8-10 mm) balls. Each ball is a cyst. If we talk about the quantitative composition, there can be more than 10 formations. This disease is not common, but still some difficulties can arise: infertility,
• cyst in the right ovary, another neoplasm - a tumor. If its size is insignificant, the development of the disease may proceed asymptomatically. In case of large sizes, pain in the right ovary has a permanent effect, which pinches the nerve endings and internal organs.

The causes of pain in the right ovary can only be determined through medical diagnostics: ultrasound and tests. As for self-examination, it is impossible to get an accurate answer by reading books. Even doctors who have undergone many years of training and practice cannot make a diagnosis based only on a description of symptoms, especially since many diseases have similar signs.

Pain in the area of the right ovary

Pain in the right ovary can lead to serious consequences, including infertility, if the situation is not resolved in a timely manner. In addition, when pain occurs in the area of the right ovary, age and lifestyle should be taken into account. And now we are not talking about a teenage girl with a polygamous attitude to intimate relationships, but about women, girls, girls in general. Pain in the right ovary can occur even in a girl who has not reached puberty. Most often, this is due to an inflammatory process due to hypothermia. A grandmother who went through menopause 20 years ago may also have this, and the reasons here may be different, including inflammation and infections. Specifically, we will consider the causes of pain below.

Symptoms of pain in the right ovary

This includes "critical days". Each woman experiences this period in her own way: some lead a normal life, some have a pulling sensation in the lower abdomen, some take painkillers, and some are accompanied by pain in the right ovary. Why does this happen? How can the menstrual cycle affect pain sensations directed specifically at the right ovary?

At the end of the period, a kind of yellow body is usually formed in the ovary where the eggs are located, consisting of connections of several cells that form progesterone. Speaking without medical terms, if this same body turned out to be "underdeveloped", then this partially destroys the mucous texture of the uterus, which is the cause of pain in the ovaries before the "critical days". Pain can occur in the right, left or both ovaries at the same time. There are no serious consequences. But just in case, it is better to visit a gynecologist in case the cause is suddenly a disease.

Pain in the right ovary before the onset of menstruation can occur 2-3 weeks before their "start". At this moment, the egg leaves the ovary, creating a very tiny hole from which a small amount of blood enters the abdominal area. It is the blood that becomes the causative agent of pain, as it "nervates" the abdominal cavity. Painful sensations can appear not only in the right, but also in the left ovary. This phenomenon is considered normal, but if the pain lasts more than 12 hours and plus a temperature, then there is a possibility of its rupture. In this case, medical intervention cannot be delayed! Otherwise, a large flow of blood can enter the abdominal area and provoke peritonitis.

If a woman complains of pain in the right ovary during her period, she confuses it with pain elsewhere, for example, in the uterus. Since the ovaries do not bother during menstruation. But still, if the pain is in the ovary, it signals the presence of a cyst.

Among other things, pain in the right ovary is likely during and after sex. There are many options for the formation of pain:

• STDs and inflammation of the genitals,
• cyst, polycystic,
• benign and malignant ovarian tumors,
• cervicitis,
• vaginal dryness,
• vaginismus,
• excessively deep penetration of the penis into the vagina.

Pain in the right ovary after surgery is also a common occurrence. After surgery, any organism needs a rehabilitation process. If the surgery was of a gynecological nature, namely, ovarian puncture, then pain in this area is a common situation, since the ovaries in this case were subjected to some trauma. Imagine that you hit your knee: it heals, but at the same time "aches" and hurts. In the same way, the ovary heals after surgery. Basically, the pain lasts no more than a week, depending on the characteristics of the female body. If the pain in the right ovary is unbearable, then a visit to the doctor is mandatory.

Aching pain in the right ovary

Sometimes a nagging pain in the right ovary creates the impression that the ovary is moving downwards, but the pain is not strong or sharp. It can be assumed that this is a cyst. However, it is possible that there is a disease such as sciatica - inflammation of the sciatic nerve - a neurological disease. The same symptoms are possible with a diagnosis of apoplexy of the right ovary - bleeding from the right ovary into the abdominal area. If the disease has become severe, then surgical intervention cannot be avoided. In addition to the above diagnoses, such symptoms can be explained by the fact that some fashionistas wear short skirts and 20 DEN nylon tights in the cold season, without thinking that they can provoke the development of an inflammatory process in the genitourinary system. Infectious and fungal diseases transmitted sexually can also cause nagging pain.

In any case, an examination is mandatory.

Aching pain in the right ovary

There are many reasons for this! This also includes ectopic pregnancy (it is very important to urgently consult a gynecologist in order to avoid a ruptured tube), adnexitis of the right ovary, painful ovulation and much more. It is quite possible that the aching pain in the right ovary is not associated with female diseases. There are many options: an inflammatory process in the bladder, pain from kidney problems can radiate to any part of the abdomen and lower back.

But, be that as it may, if something hurts, then in search engines you can find the answer to your question only for informational purposes! Self-medication or online diagnostics is not the right way to solve the problem. A doctor and only a doctor can help in this situation. And even if there is absolutely no time, it is extremely necessary to find a window in your schedule for this matter!

Sharp pain in the right ovary

If a woman has a sharp pain in the right ovary, then this is a serious reason to go to the hospital. Why? Here are some reasons:

• a cyst or other neoplasm that has reached a large size,
• torsion of the cyst of the right ovary, which may be a consequence of necrosis, peritonitis,
• ruptured right ovary,
• ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. In this case, the ovaries are significantly enlarged in size and small follicular cysts are formed. Symptoms of this disease include: weight gain, shortness of breath, bloating, ascites - accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity, a decrease in the daily urine volume to 500 ml, with the norm being about 1500 ml, hypovolemia - a decrease in the volume of blood in the body,
• mental illnesses.

Severe pain in the right ovary

Severe, as well as sharp pain in the right ovary can be a signal of any disease. Here is a tumor, cyst, ectopic pregnancy, rupture of the right ovary, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, torsion of the cyst of the right ovary and much more. The answer to the question of the cause of severe pain in the area of the right ovary cannot be obtained thanks to forums and medical reference books. Or a friend who says: "Oh, I had this" is also not an advisor. The real result can be obtained with the help of ultrasound, MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), tests. For those who do not know the advantages of MRI: a harmless examination of the body, which can determine not only the problem of a certain area of the body, but the whole body.

Sharp pain in the right ovary

Like a sickle on... This is how one can characterize acute pain in the right ovary. It is impossible to bear such sensations! Sometimes even painkillers do not help. Surely, a woman in such a situation will not be able to search for treatment methods on the Internet, but will immediately call an ambulance. And this is right!

Surely, many have heard about the possibility of a cyst rupture. Under such circumstances, a woman may even die. Perhaps, some think that such words are used to scare people for advertising purposes. But such cases have been recorded. And the reason for all this is an untimely visit to the doctor.

Here is described one of the most dangerous options. It is not at all necessary that this is the reason for the acute pain in the right ovary. There may be the same reasons that are characteristic of sharp and severe pain. And if the pain is acute, then the factor of its occurrence is serious.

What to do if the right ovary hurts?

Usually the diagnosis is made by a gynecologist during an examination: examination, tests, ultrasound. But cases of diagnosis by other specialists - urologists and neurologists - are not excluded.

Since there are many reasons why pain appears in the right ovary, there are also several ways to recognize it:

• computed tomography (CT) can be classified as an X-ray examination that provides a clear picture of the diametrical tissues of the entire body. If the diagnosis is ovarian cancer, CT can determine its spread to the liver or another organ. In addition, it can also identify other risk factors: damage to the kidneys and bladder, tumor size and lymph node size;
• X-ray with barium is intended if there is a suspicion of ovarian cancer (or one of them), which spreads to the rectum or colon. Before the examination (24 hours before), the patient takes a laxative. The diagnostic process itself looks something like this: a white liquid consisting of a suspension of barium sulfate is introduced into the rectum and colon. This is done so that the X-ray is more distinct,
• Chest X-ray is again used in ovarian cancer to determine if there are metastases in the lungs,
• Positron emission tomography is used to detect cancer,
• laparoscopy is used not only to examine the ovaries, but also other pelvic organs,
• Biopsy is a diagnostic procedure that is prescribed in cases of menstrual cycle disorders, the presence of additional lobes, fibroma, papillary growths, thecomatosis or polycystic ovary disease.

Treatment of pain in the right ovary

You can get rid of pain in the right ovary with the help of painkillers. A guaranteed way to get rid of pain forever is to treat its cause.

If pain in the right ovary is caused by ovarian adnexitis, it is usually treated with the following medications:

• "Metronidazole" has antimicrobial properties. It is used to treat urogenital trichomoniasis, trichomoniasis, trichomonas vaginitis, extraintestinal and intestinal amebiasis, balantidiasis, giardiasis, cutaneous leishmaniasis.

The method of application depends on the severity of the disease, but in any case, the daily dose should not exceed 4 g.

Side effects: nausea and vomiting, diarrhea or constipation, abdominal pain, anorexia, stomatitis, glossitis, pancreatitis, headache and dizziness, impaired coordination of movements, emotional disorders, including depression and sleep disorders, hallucinations, convulsions, leukopenia, neutropenia, skin allergic reactions, rhinitis, fever, cystitis, dysuria, polyuria, candidiasis.

Do not prescribe to patients with organic lesions of the central nervous system, with severe renal failure, during pregnancy and lactation, children under 2 years of age, and in case of hypersensitivity to the drug.

Combination with the drug "Amoxicillin" is not recommended. Also, people under 18 years of age are not advised to take this medication.

In case of overdose, nausea and vomiting may occur. If the drug was consumed in excessively large quantities, epileptic seizures or peripheral neuropathy may occur.

There is no specific antidote. Treatment is symptomatic with gastric lavage.

• "Erythromycin" is a macrolide, an antibiotic. It is prescribed in the presence of chlamydial and mycoplasmal infections. The dosage is determined by the doctor. In case of any contraindications, it can be replaced with other antibiotics "Ofloxacin", "Doxycycline", "Azithromycin", etc.

Contraindications: hypersensitivity, hearing loss, concomitant use of Terfenadine, Astmetizol, breastfeeding.

Side effects: skin allergic reactions, eosinophilia (anaphylactic shock is possible), nausea, vomiting.

Overdose is characterized by liver dysfunction and hearing loss.

Overdose symptoms are treated by gastric lavage, activated carbon, and monitoring respiratory parameters.

• "Ceftibuten" is an antibiotic that is used in the presence of an infection caused by the following pathogens: enterobacteria, streptococci, gonococci, etc., which contribute to the development of adnexitis.

As for the method of application, you should strictly follow the doctor’s instructions.

As for folk methods of treatment, there is a controversial issue regarding the effectiveness, as it helps some, but not others. But, be that as it may, such a method does not cause harm if it is an addition to the main, medicinal method of treatment:

• Bake the onion in the oven, then remove the top part, which must be crushed until a paste is formed. Wrap the resulting mixture in gauze to form a tampon. This tampon is left in the vagina overnight. The course of treatment lasts a month,
• Aloe juice has long been used for medicinal purposes, since its properties are multifaceted. Our case is no exception. So, aloe juice thoroughly mixed with cabbage juice is the most popular folk method for treating adnexitis. You should make a cotton swab, which is dipped in cabbage-aloe juice. The swab is inserted into the vagina 2 times a day for 2 weeks.

If doctors have diagnosed oophoritis, the method of treatment is somewhat different from the previous disease:

• antibacterial drugs: "Azithrocin", "Amoxiclav", "Hexamethylenetetramine", "Gentamicin", "Doxycycline", "Doxycycline", "Clindamycin", "Metronidazole", "Negram", "Ofloxacin", "Roxithromycin", "Trichopolum", "Cefotaxime", "Ciprofloxacin". Methods of administration and dosage are carried out under strict medical supervision. Self-prescription will not give the desired result;
• vitamin preparations containing vitamins C, E,
• painkillers: Analgin, Aspirin, Asalgin, Aspilight, Tempalgin, Spazmolgon.

Recipes from "grandmothers":

• white cabbage leaves are boiled in homemade milk. The resulting liquid is poured into a vessel on which it is comfortable to sit, since the healing procedure is carried out like a steam bath. In this case, it is mandatory to wrap yourself in a warm blanket. The course of treatment is not measured in a calendar ratio, that is, you need to do this until complete recovery,
• douching with a decoction of oak bark, mistletoe, daisy leaves, nettle. There should be 20 g of each plant. And also add 10 g of water pepper and shepherd's purse herb. All this is poured with 1 liter of boiling water. The potion should be infused for 3 hours. Now it can be used as intended.

It is strictly forbidden, regardless of what disease caused the pain in the right ovary, to put a heating pad or a cold compress on the painful area! Such methods can aggravate the situation and increase pain.

How to prevent pain in the right ovary?

The mentality of a post-Soviet person is such that he begins to think about his health at the moment when the disease has overtaken him. But he forgets about prevention. It is possible to prevent any disease if you undergo regular medical examinations. It is not difficult, just 2 times a year. After that - half a year of a calm life. Of course, no one gives a 100% guarantee, since we are all living people and are susceptible to diseases at any time. But still, a professional examination can determine a diagnosis in time, which you did not even suspect!

Pain in the right ovary can be prevented if you take care of yourself and take precautions: wear warm clothes in winter, do not swim in cold water, use a condom if you frequently change sexual partners, control your personal hygiene products (clean towel, personal accessories), do not lift too heavy loads.
