Dull pain in lower left abdomen?

Q: For about 2 months now I occasionally get this very very dull pain/cramp in my lower left abdomen…I would describe it as my left ovary, lol. You know when you run after you haven’t ran for a while and you get a cramp in your belly? That’s kind of what it’s like except even more dull. I can only feel it when moving around, etc. It goes away for a while–then comes back. It seems to be only around the time of my period (week before and during this time) I am ending my period today and my periods are pretty regular. I missed my period in July due to stress from moving across the country! But before that (for the past 4 yrs) and after that it’s come on time. I was on birth control for 4 yrs until Feb 08. I stopped taking it until August 08. So I’ve been on it a few months again now. Anyways…The pain seems to diminish when I pass gas…Sorry, TMI! I do tend to pass gas a lot because of the foods I eat and I was chewing gum almost all day long. I have stopped chewing gum and eating certain foods and my gas has gone away mostly, lol. I have an appointment at the gyno on Friday for a regular PAP. What do you guys think about this? If you have any more questions, ask them and I will check here and answer for you…Please let me know what you think this could be? Cysts? (No history of any cysts or cancers in my family–Mother & great aunt had endometriosis later in life).10 pts to best answer!I am sexually active-but not pregnant. I’m 21.

A: I would guess that it’s a cyst. I am 24 and about 2 years ago I went to the Dr. because of a dull pain on my right side. (I explained it the same exact way, that it felt like my ovary) I was worried so My Dr. sent me for an ultrasound and confirmed that it was a cyst. I had to go back once a month for two more months to make sure that it went away.A cyst can put pressure on your bowel and your bladder which could be causing the gas.You should get it checked out just in case. They like to keep an eye on it and make sure that it does dissolve or rupture and not keep growing.

A: This pain that you are noticing could be due to ovulation (the time when the egg cell is released that month) which is an indication that your body is getting ready for the next period (an example only).I would recommend asking your gyn about this as well when you see her on Fri.

A: TMI answer for TMI question… I have a similar feeling during the time of my period. What happens to me is I tend to get, er… constipated and experience a similar pain. My theory is that the cramps that are tormenting my uterus are also freezing up the rest of my abdomen. Your comment about gas is what makes me think it might be something similar. Mention it to your doctor when you go, I guess, s/he can eliminate anything serious concerning cysts or the like.
