And oh yeah, it hurts really bad when I have sex(on the left side)!. So what could it be!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Abdominal/pelvic pain that is similar to that of period cramping may indicate a problem in a reproductive organ (like the pain around your ovaries or uterus)!.
This includes conditions such as endometriosis (when tissue from the uterus is displaced to somewhere else like the pelvic wall or ovaries), uterine fibroids (thick bands of muscular and fibrous tissue in the uterus), ovarian cysts, ovarian cancer (rare), or pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) infection of the reproductive organs, usually from a sexually transmitted disease!.
If you have pain in your ovary area, you might have an ovarian cyst!. I have experienced that same type of pain whenever I have had an ovarian cyst!. I was also diagnosed with endometriosis last year which caused me severe pelvic pain and intense and painful period cramping!.
Based on your symptoms and what you wrote, I would recommend that you should see your doctor/gynaecologist, just to rule out any serious causes!.

I get the left side pains sometimes too!. My periods are normal though, so I usually assume it is just cramps!. If it is on the right it is your appendix!. But the left!? Not much is over there!. I would ask a doctor!. In the meantime, take ibuprofen before sex!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
