Should I have pain in my side when I ovulate?

Answer by  treasureteepee (106)

It is fairly common to get some aches and pains during ovulation. If the pain is severe and persistant, it can indicate a more serious problem. There are women who have a condition known as Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome, which can cause pain during ovulation.

No, you should not have pain in your side when you ovulate. She probably has a cyst or two on that ovary. If they are causing her pain she may need them surgically removed. She could also have some endometriosis. She needs to see and OBGYN and get an ultrasound to figure it out.

No, a pain in the side could be a sign of a cyst, more commonly called Polycystic Ovary Syndrome(PCOS). PCOS occurs when a cyst forms in the ovary sac.

Your friend may feel pain when she ovulates, but not feeling pain is NOT a sign of a problem. Some women can feel it, others can't.
