Ovulation pain, help!!!!
Posted , 5 users are following.
i was recently diagnosed with a rectocele prolapse by my GP. She thinks I probably have bladder and uterus prolapse. She did not tests, just sent me onto a gynaecologist. Nearest urogynaecologist is 8 hours away. But I don't have regular periods, but when I ovulate. The pain up near my right kidney makes me nauseous, it takes my breathe away. Is this related? I don't see gyn until end of February, should I be calling to get in sooner?
thank you, any help appreciated

Ovulation pain is relatively common but when it's severe it could indicate an ovarian cyst. You may get a better response to your question on another forum such as ovarian cysts.

From my professional experience I couldn't see any reason why a prolapse would. A prolapse wouldn't interfere with the ovary and ovarian pain is usually hormone related or due to a cyst.

Just to add nancy you asked about whether you should be calling your gynae earlier. If any woman suffers severe ovulation pain then there must be a reason for it so if it does become worse or even to the stage where you can't cope with the pain then yes I think you should see someone because there must be a reason why. I mentioned ovarian cyst which can be a problem if it were to burst. If your abdomen should swell then get medical help. Google the symptoms for ovarian pain and look on this website as well.

Hi Nancy from my own experience the gynaecologist didn't help me at all with the prolapse I didn't get treated and actually correctly diagnosed with stage three rectocele until I saw a urogynaecologist, I'm six weeks post op now. I was seeing a gynaecologist for endometriosis and even though he knew all the presenting symptoms he never even said I had a prolapse!!! Hopefully your gynaecologist will be better than mine (I'm in the uk) but you may still need to see the urogynaecologist for specialist care, take care x

NZ is one of the countries where consultants still call themselves Gynaecologists however they can still do the extra training to undertake urogynaecology and that should be listed in their resumes or description. In the USA a lot of urologists repair prolapse but they obviously have the training to do so. It's just a title but fortunately in the U.K. they use urogynaecologist so it's easy to find the appropriate surgeon.
