Pain near ovaries was felt by me during the menstrual periods, but took it very lightly. When the pain converted in to a stabbing and sharp one, it started worrying me. I knew that something was wrong in the lower abdomen region of the body but was not sure about which organ or region.

I approached my family physician and explained about the pain near my ovaries, but he considered it to be a yeast infection and gave medicines for treating it. Even after consuming the medicine for pain near the ovaries the pain still persisted and I did not want to take any chances.

My friends suggested me to approach a good gynecologist as she would be the best person to check and diagnose the problem correctly. The same way I approached a gynecologist and took the diagnostic tests. Ultra sound and laboratory tests were done on me and the results showed that I had polycystic ovarian syndrome.

A physical examination and an internal examination were done to see the severity of the condition and the doctor asked me to consume birth control pills for six months time. She said once the menstrual cycle is regularized the pain near the ovaries which was due to the presence of ovarian cysts would disappear.
