Is it typical to have pain?!
Question: when i get aroused, i have discomfort in the area where my left ovary is located. there are also days when i have pains there throughout the day even when i am not aroused... is this normal? I had a pap done b/c i had discomfort all across my lower abdomin and they thought i may have had PID, but it came back normal... so what could be causing this other pain, or is it normal?

If you have pain in your ovary area (this is the area you seem to be describing in your question), then you might have an ovarian cyst. I have experienced the same type of pain whenever I have had an ovarian cyst.
I have had a number of bilateral ovarian cysts (which included functional, hemorrhagic and endometrioma cysts) over the past 9 years. And I have even needed surgery for 2 of them because they didn't resolve after a few cycles (as they usually do).
Ovarian cysts are usually a common and harmless swelling of one or both ovaries. These cysts most often occur in women who are between puberty and menopause, when the ovaries are in high gear propelling out mature eggs. The term functional means the cyst is not caused by any underlying disease or disorder, and that it will possibly resolve (shrink and disappear) on its own in a few weeks.
Some functional ovarian cysts have no symptoms and are discovered, if at all, during routine pelvic exams. Others can cause symptoms, including changes in the menstrual cycle, including shorter or longer periods, skipped periods, and/or spotting between periods, pelvic pain or ache, especially during sexual intercourse or at the start or finish of menstruation, feelings of nausea or queasiness or breast tenderness.
I recommend that if you have any concerns regarding this pain you are experiencing, that you consult with your doctor/gyno for further evaluation. You may need to have a pelvic ultrasound to see whether you have an ovarian cyst. Sometimes ovarian cysts can become large and can twist or rupture causing intense pain and sometimes turning into an emergency.
Good luck :)
think you need an ultrasound of that ovary
It is not normal, I'm not sure what it is but get it checked ASAP! Maybe the pap smear wasn't what you needed to tell what it was.
Maybe you should consult a doctor and perhaps have a physical exam and specifically tell your doctor what's happening.
