Ok so for about the last month or so I
have been getting pelvic pains
intermittantly. Sometimes the pains only
last for a few minutes other times it will
last for an hour or more. Just recently
i've been getting sharp pains while having
sex. When I stop having sex the pains
remain for a while afterward, but not as
strong. I have no clue as to what this
could be. Any ideas would be greatly
appreciated. Thank you.

It could be any number of things: cysts on
ovaries, pid, std, etc. You need to go
see a doctor and have them run tests.
That kind of ongoing pain is not normal
and can be a indicator of something very
serious. Do not put it off any longer.
Go get tested.

Ok, so to add to my woa's... I've had a
continuous pain since this morning. I
went to see the doc and he said it could
be an ovarian thing or maybe my uterus
flipped but he also said it may be from my
appendix. So he has sent me to see a
general surgeon at the university
hospital. So we will see how that goes.

Yeah! Please do not take that the wrong
way. I am just very glad that you saw a
doctor. I hope everything turns out ok
for you! Even if it turns out to be
nothing at least you will have peace of
mind.

So they are still not 100% certain about
my appendix or not, but they do know for
sure that I have ovarian cysts and more
than likely what happened was one burst on
my right side. But it doesn't explain all
the pains I have in my pelvic area. So
tomorrow morning I am going back to my
other doc and get some more tests done to
find out about my other pains.

Ok, so i'm a little confused. I was
thining about everything that went on
yesterday and came up with a few things
that didn't make much sense. Like, the
ultrasound guy said that I had polups
(sp?) on the outside of my ovaries and the
resident that saw me said that I had
cysts. Are polups different than cysts???
Also if cysts is what I have, how long
does the pain stay if one did burst?
