Lower Left Quadrant Pain
2

I have been experiencing pain in my lower left quadrant that is almost constant. I spoke with my GYN about it on my last visit a few weeks ago and she said since I am on birth control I should't have a cyst. Since the visit, the pain has intensified and is occurring more often. Also, the area of my abdomen where the pain is occurring has become slightly edematous. Ovarian cysts run in my family on both sides. Am I overreacting, or should I seek further medical attention?

Any input would be greatly aprrectiated.

Hi Robyn!


I would demand an ultrasound from your doctor so you can see what's going on.

Kristin,

Thanks for the advice. That's really what I thought, but I just neede a little reassurance that I wasn't overreacting.
