Hello,

Thank you for writing to HCM about your query,

Brief Answer -

A number of different conditions.

Explained answer -

The ovaries are located in the lower abdomen.

That means if you have ovarian pain, you'll most likely feel it in your lower abdomen -- below your belly button -- and pelvis.

It's important to have any pelvic pain checked out by your regular doctor.

Several different conditions can cause it.

Pain in the ovaries can either be acute or chronic.
Acute ovarian pain comes on quickly (over a few minutes or days) and goes away in a short period of time.
Chronic ovarian pain usually starts more gradually. Then it last for several months.

Ovarian pain may be continuous Or it may come and go.

It may get worse with certain activities, such as exercise or urination.

It can be so mild that you don't notice it.

Or pain in the ovaries can be so severe that it interferes with daily life.

Hope You will find it out helpful.

Thanks And Regards,
Dr. Gaurav Prajapati
