Why does the left ovary ache - reasons
The main causes of diseases of the genital organs may become pathogens (chlamydia, ureoplazma, mycoplasma, candida, etc.), leading to inflammatory processes of the appendages. Also, problems can arise due to hypothermia, or as complications due to the transferred viral diseases. Pain in the ovary can increase with physical and psychological fatigue, or the cyst may become the cause, a large tumor (in this case it presses on the nerve endings and neighboring organs). Acute pain can occur due to twisting the "leg" of the cyst or its rupture. However, the ovaries themselves are capable of twisting, which prevents the blood supply of tissues and can lead to necrosis. Less common can be pains due to rupture of the ovary during ovulation, adhesive process in the fallopian tubes, pathological changes in the position of the appendages, etc. As we see, the causes of pain in the left ovary are large, therefore it is impossible to perform self-diagnostics. To establish an accurate diagnosis, a number of examinations are required, including ultrasound of the pelvis and blood tests.
