Ovarian cyst, uti? female, 32…pain ?
pain, very mild, started saturday last week. it would come and go during the day. it was on my lower left abdomen/pelvis. then wednesday, had to pee every 30 mins with constant pain there on my lower left and would be relieved after peeing. that lasted 1/2 the day. then friday, my lower left back ached a bit when i had to pee….relieved after peeing. only happened like 3 times. now today my right is starting to hurt a little. my left has been bothering me daily every few hrs. not sure if i have a UTI, cyst or what, but i am going to doc tomorrow….any ideas? my period was 5 days early about 2 weeks ago, so doubt i am pregnant. urinating doesnt hurt or burn. also before last saturday was drinking soda, barely any water. since then, been drinking water and cranbury juice.
If you have pain in your ovary area (this is the area you seem to be describing in your question), then you might have an ovarian cyst. I have experienced the same type of pain whenever I have had an ovarian cyst.
I have had a number of bilateral ovarian cysts (which included functional, hemorrhagic and endometrioma cysts) over the past 11 years. And I have even needed surgery for 2 of them because they didn’t resolve after a few cycles (as they usually do).
Over the week I have experienced pain in my lower left side as well and also had pelvic pain. I went to the doctor and she ran some urine tests and also sent me for an ultrasound and I was diagnosed with a UTI and another small cyst on my right ovary measuring 2.4cm.
Based on your symptoms, it could very well be that you have either an ovarian cyst or a UTI.
I recommend that if you have any concerns regarding this pain you are experiencing, that you consult with your doctor/gyno for further evaluation. Sometimes ovarian cysts can become large and can twist or rupture causing intense pain and sometimes turning into an emergency. And if you do have a UTI you will need to get antibiotics to ensure it resolves because a UTI can spread to your kidneys and it could become serious.
Good luck
