Just wondering if anyone else suffers from this....
I have always had really bad period pain, but the past few months it has been more localised on my right hand side, low down. It's a really sharp, stabbing pain. Cant feel it on my left hand side at all.
Anyone else have this? Or does anyone else have a possible explanation as to why it's only on one side?
it hurts :(
thanks :)
I had the same but on the left hand side. When I had my lap it was the left ovary that was covered in endo and interestingly once it had been cleaned up I didn't get the pain as bad. Shame it took years of complaining and being ignored before someone listened (or found it by accident when looking for something else ;) ) Hope it eases for you soon xxx
Adhesion? Fibroid? Adhesion could be wrapped around something.
I think if has happened more than once, then it would suggest something is not right. Hope it's not lap time. xx
I had been hospitalized a few times with suspected appendix trouble only to be released some days later nothing said. Mine comes as goes. And have put it down to just a quirk my body has.
Hope you can get answers for you
Stop bumping me little lady!
yep, i get it - and like DT, have been in emergency several times with suspected appendicitis! i have regular scans to check it, as i had a large cyst beside my ovary that they were blaming for quite a while, but now, even that has resolved, and the pain hasn't. back to being clueless, but given the way i scar elsewhere (overgrowth of scar tissue) i think it's related either to the ovarian drilling (and related scar tissue), ivf or c/section (and scar tissue) - before having the golf balling surgery, i NEVER had period pain - ever - i'd never know she was coming til i started to bleed. now i get warning for full LP...
Some months I am bed-ridden with the pain. Since my second pregnancy though it has eased somewhat and the pain is usually only severe for a day. I will often get the pain only on one side and then the next month the other side. I had assumed (probably wrongly) it was whatever side I was ovulating from....
I used to, specifically on left. The cause was my endometrioma on the left ovary. After it was drained, I've not had the stabbing pain since.
yep i had it. thought it was to do with my endo returning so went to see my gyno and he did a diagnostic lap. ovaries and tubes were all clear, however, my appendix was "abnormal" so he referred to me to a general surgeon.I had my appendix out 2 weeks ago and after reviewing the pathology results, it turns out the inner lining of my appendix was pretty much "obliterated" (surgeons words). this would not have been visible on a standard ultrasound as it was the inside of my appendix. he said the pain i'd been having would've been "mini" appendicitis attacks! - its been two weeks since i had it removed and have had no pain at all. Usually by now, i'd be curled up on the couch with a heat pack and loading up on neurofen as i used to have the pain throughout my cycle, with the worst being mid cycle.
hth :)
Thanks everyone. I might mention it to my FS. Was totally over it this afternoon :(
I hope the pain eased up for you n2l :hug: When I was younger, I had O pain on alternating sides. These days it seems to be mainly on the left (I tried convincing my FS that my right ovary must have retired ;)) but I have had a massive fibroid removed from that side so I reckon I have scarring/adhesions there now. The pain is really really bad sometimes. With your pain, it could be maybe a cyst or a fibroid or just an adhesion....maybe? Hope your FS can give you some answers xoxox
Yep had it.. cysts. The stabbing pain would intensify during adult fun time too. Hope its nothing sinister.
