17, female.I wasnt sure what to put this under but I get these sharp pains that radiate from my ovaries all the way down to my vaginal area. It feels as if a razor blade is scraping me and i have to stop whatever i'm doing and curl up and wait for it to pass. It doesnt happend often but ive noticed that its more frequent. What could this be?
This is a serious sign of multiple possibilities, including cancer.
Call for a doctor's appointment right now and explain about the pains.
My mother experienced pains similar to this when she was a teen. She let it go so long that she had to be rushed to the emergency room when it got to be flat-out excruciating. She had cancer and since she had pretended the pains would go away it had become serious. They told she would never carry a baby to full term after the surgeries because they had to cut away some of the cancerous areas. She ended up miscarrying A LOT of babies after that when she did try to conceive, and she came very close to losing me when she was pregnant. Thank God her husband at the time had enough sense to take her to the hospital or she may have died from it spreading.
Waiting doesn't help and neither does pretending it will go away. This is serious. Your body is telling you something is NOT right. Listen to it now. [ Peeps's advice column | Ask Peeps A Question ]
sachisushi answered Friday June 11 2010, 8:51 pm: I used to experience similar pains and found out I had an ovarian cyst. Ovarian cysts can be excruciatingly painful in that general area. When I had it, the pains would come at random times and hurt so badly I could barely walk and also need to curl up in a ball. You should probably consult your doctor about this, especially if it's starting to reoccur more frequently. I hope you feel start feeling better soon girly.
