Many factors and health conditions cause ovary pain. Doctors and health professionals believe that it is due to the reproductive organs and their medical conditions to be the main cause of ovary pain.
But, experts are of the view that they are unable to ascertain the actual cause of ovary pain in women as it remains a mystery to them even now. Normally chronic pain can be experienced in any body part even without any cause of diagnosis. Even after an injury or disease has healed, the nerves can send neuropathic pain signals. It is thought to be due to the nervous system getting overloaded by long lasting pain. Hence it is also considered as the cause of ovary pain.
Mittelschmerz or normal ovulation can cause ovary pain but that would be for a short time period and might happen once in every month during the menses cycle. Functional cysts in the ovaries might also cause ovary pain which could become chronic in nature if unattended. Other health conditions that cause ovary pain include ectopic pregnancy, appendicitis, kidney stones, urinary tract infection, tubo ovarian abscess or pelvic inflammatory disease and also due to diseases that are transmitted due to sexual intercourse.
