Ovulation Pain Severe

Body: 

I have been having this for a while now. The ovulation pains are so bad, that it lasts for about 4 to 5 days. It messes up my bowels and bladder. It feels like the entire pelvis is one big muscle spasm. The pain is only at this time. I have lighter periods since having the pains as well. I had a normal exam when I went last year. Is this just a normal part of prolapse? Since all has shifted around in there?

Hi Mom30,

I had a complex cyst rupture in January - very uncomfortable, lots of pelvic pressure - especially on bladder and bowels. However, leading up to this, I had several months of more significant ovulation pain. My symptoms from the cyst are better, and I just ovulated with less pain and less pain with my period too! I'm not saying it's a cyst, and it is common to have functional cysts, but it's worth checking out. It's often the complex cyst or dermoid cyst that can be more symptomatic. A hands on palpation of the abdomen/pelvic contents and and ultrasound of the pelvis (transvaginal) can help determine the diagnosis.

Hope that helps!

I actually have noticed that my hair has thinned out quite a bit as well. Not sure if it's related or not. I'm only 35!

I used to get it absolutely horribly--so badly that once i nearly went to hospital it was so unbearable. i did see a doctor and i was told i'd have to go on the pill to stop ovulating but refused. I am not a fan of pain killers, but found anti inflammatory ones did help a lot at that time of the month and meant i could cope. not ideal, but got me through those few days / month.

it did disappear but i can't actually tell you why... i vaguely recall having taken some herbs to help, but this was a loooonnnggg time ago.

and hasn't returned with POP, so doesn't seem related in my case.
