Common Questions and Answers about Appendicitis symptoms ovary problems
appendicitis
According to WebMD diagnosing appendicitis can be tricky:
"Symptoms of appendicitis are frequently vague or extremely similar to other ailments, including gallbladder problems, bladder or urinary tract infection, Crohn's disease, gastritis, intestinal infection, and ovary problems.
The following tests are usually used to make the diagnosis.
I've had an appendectomy 8 months ago, but simptoms came back a month ago: pain in the right of my belly, which migrated in the LRQ after about 2 weeks, bloating, pain in the right side during bowel movements, right leg gets a little numb sometimes. Did a CT scan 1 month ago, it revealed an ovarian cyst of 3.5 cm on my right and a 5 cm one on my left. The pain on my right is persistent and the symptoms are really bad for such a small cyst.
on my right side, very vague, almost unnoticeable, around the area of the ovary...or sometimes further up. The ache also would sometimes seem to extend from the right side of the vaginal area up to the ovary.
I went to my GP and he did a very brief external exam and claimed my problem was caused by constipation. After urging him, he finally agreed to schedule me for a pelvic (external) ultrasound, which was done three days ago.
An appendix is usually on the right side of your stomach and you will usually run a high fever with appendicitis. However, if you are still concerned, you can call your doctor and ask to speak to a nurse.
In the beginning of February, I was dealing with bad heartburn and anxiety, but around the middle (I'll say the 20th), my right ovary began hurting really bad and it was hard for me to make a bowel movement. And whenever I finished urinating, the pain would begin and I feel nauseous.
I went to a (bad) doctor visit and after blood work, they said my hormones, blood sugar, and everything was fine but to see a specialist about my ovary.
I have right ovary pain constantly now, It started off and on, for about 1yr. Now the pain is constant, has been for about 4 months.. It is controlling my life, when I work, when I do things with my family and my husband and I can't have sex without me being in so much pain afterwards I don't do anything for about a day & a half!!
I have had both vaginal and topical ultrasounds done.
I have been having some pain where I believe my right ovary to be. I had pain there, around my back and down my legs. Also up my right side too. Gyno said she did not feel anything on my ovary, thought it might be an UTI. Seeing a urologist and so far sounds as if this is not the case. Urine coming back negative for bacteria. These pains come and go without any reason. Its not always there. But I read a story of a lady who's first sign of colon cancer was sciatic pain.
chronic involvement of appendix (many a times ultrasound misses this as the appendix in such cases is hidden behind loops of intestine and typical symptoms of appendicitis are absent), involvement of kidney and inflammation of your intestine.
Lower right abdomen pain is commonly due to appendicitis. The pain, can at times come and go and not give the classic picture.
Pain in the lower right area may be from inflamed glands, appendicitis, renal colic or muscular problem. Have to lifted or moved anything heavy before this pain came on?
As you are also feeling unwell, I suggest you make an appointment to see your doctor to get the correct diagnosis. Take a morning urine sample with you.
You could use a hot water bottle wrapped in a towel to stop skin burn and place this on the painful side and take pain relief as directed on the packet.
32 female, never pregnant and not sexually active. Pinching over right ovary area, wrote it off as ovulation. Came back on and off over the week until it became more sore rather than a pinch. Went to gyno, internal & external ultrasound, pelvic exam, no cysts or problems found. Now the pain has gone up a little bit and is from where my right ovary is up to top of my groin/where stomach begins. It's soreness like something is bruised inside of me, not sharp pain, not excruciating.
Lower right quadrant abdominal pain is also a sign of appendicitis. If you are laying on your back and press on the sore spot and you get a sharp pain when you press and it even hurts as you release pressure it could be appendicitis. Your pain may be unrelated to your pregnancy. Did they rule out appendicitis or even ovarian cyst or maybe even gas?
I never took the antibiotics. The next day the local GP said no appendicitis. After 15 days still the symptoms continued occasionally and a went to a Gastroenterologist who advised to take Taxim-O an antibiotic. I took it for 5 days. I took an ultrasound of the abdomen and the doctor said no appendicitis. But I pestered him with questions about my symptoms. He then took a screening CT in the lab and gave the report as Chronic appendicitis with 7mm thickness.
The organs in that area are intestines, appendix and female reproductive organs. You might have an ovarian cyst cooking on your right ovary. I was plagued with them when I was in my 20's. When you ovulate, sometimes the egg has trouble ejecting from the ovary, so a cyst forms. It's harmless, but hurts something fierce when and if it finally ruptures. Many times a cyst will slowly drain and result in pain from the fluid coming into contact with other tissues.
See PM for lymph info. Have the done any cancer marker testing? Did they rule out chronic appendicitis?
could that be the reason i have not gotton appendicitis yet? and wouldnt they see in the ct scan and ultra sound that my right ovary is in close proximity of my appendix and wouldve said something? or only my gynecologist can see that? im just very curious and worried, sorry for all these questions.
Hello there. Just saw you left a message on my page, you were wondering if anyone still checks it ........ Here I am.
............ And Oh boy do I understand your frustrations!! Make sure they thoroughly check your appendix. That is what happened to me. What you explained above sounds a bit how my nightmare started out. Gyno issues, not Gyno issues, Gyno issues .....UGH!! I lost an ovary because of this. "Chronic Appendicitis" ......
Well, I saw my gyno and she felt my left ovary was enlarged so I got a second pelvic ultrasound. They found cysts on my ovary and fibroids in my uterus.
I saw a gyno again who reviewed the ultrasound and said what I may be suffering from is endometriosis. He suggested that once I begin my placebo pills during my birth control, to start taking ibuprofin. Do that for three months, come back and if nothing changes, I'll go on Lupron. If my pain goes away, more than likely it's endo.
Hello,
My case can look rather particular in fact it is the second time in ten years that I have to undergo surgery due to ovarian cysts ruptures on my right ovary and every time the doctors in ER first think of an acute appendicitis which make them run a quantity of useless tests while I am in pain and makes me even more doubtful and worried.
I went to hospital with severe lower abdominal pain. After several tests, they noticed a cyst or tumour (radiologist's words exactly) on right ovary, and swollen appendix and elevated white cell count. Surgeon opted to not to an appendectomy as he felt that I have a cyst which leaked fluid causing irritation to appendix. I was not prescribed any antibiotics or painkillers. The pain has since eased off - now sporadic.
They did an Ultrasound which was highly susceptible for appendicitis it showed that it was not compressable, had minimal hypermiea, I was very tender and showed top normally enlarged. So since on Ultrasound it was highly showed appendicitis they took me right away to have a CT Scan with contrast which didn’t show any inflammation of appendix but showed two cysts on right ovary largest measures 2.1cm. So doctor in ER confirmed that my right quadrant stomach pain is due to the cysts.
Last year (11-25-07) i went to my local er for pain in my lower right side I was immediatley diagnosed with appendicitis had a Ct scan found a 1.6 cm cyst on right ovary with free flowing fluid. I proceeded to go to my family physician whom sent me to an ob gyn (12-27_07) i had an vaginal ultrasound was told there wasn't any thing there. Since then I have been in constant pain I kept complaining to my dr who sent me for another Ct scan (5-16-08) this time they saw a 1.
