Ovarian cyst or UTI? Sharp pain in ovaries during sex Posted: 10-29-07 03:39am
I have been having really sharp pains
where I believe to be my ovaries. It has
been hurting for the last few weeks. i had
my mirena coil removed on 10//10/07 to
TTC. I get a dull ache and sharp shooting
pains. It comes and goes but hurts more
during or after sex.
I thought it may be a UTI but my doctor
doesn't seem to think so. I'm not pregnant
cause my tests are all negative and I have
a monogamous relationship with my
partner.
I was googling and it sounds like a may
have a ovarian cyst. I would just like a
second opinion please

Pain which is present during and after sex
might originate from the inner genital
organs. An ultrasound scan (abdominal and
vaginal) can reveal more information about
the possible cause for this type of pain.
Infection of any inner genital organ can
cause painful sex. Women that wear IUDs
are more susceptible for developing
genital infections than women without IUD.
You can ask for second opinion from a
gynecologist.
An ovarian cyst is usually not painful but
it can become painful when the condition
is complicated by an infection, bleeding,
perforation, necrosis, etc. Ovarian cysts
causes irregular menstrual cycles if
hormonally active.
