What is this lower left abdominal pain? Ovarian cysts, cancer, IBS?
For the past 5 months, I have been having abdominal pain every single day. The pain is to the left side and about 1.5" below my belly button. The pain is there every day and pretty much constant.
I am a 26 year old female. I had a pelvic ultrasound, pelvic exam and CT scan when this all started. The pelvic ultrasound showed several small follicular cysts on both ovaries, more on the left, everything else was clear. I followed up with my GYN who said the cysts would not be causing this pain and dismissed me, told me to come back in Jan. (which I will do)...I went to my Gastro dr. who put me on treatment for possible IBS (levbid) but it did not help and my bowel movements do not seem to be correlated with the pain. Gastro pushed on my stomach and said the pain is located right at ovary level. IT stays very sore and my low back is very sore as well. No other symptoms. I don't really know where to go from here. Any suggestions? Are pelvic u/s always accurate? Thanks!
I do have the pain all the time - not related to cycles and yes the ultrasound was vaginal.
