paranoia?

This doesn't so much have to do with menstration, but with my ovaries and/or uterus. For many years now I've had on and off again pains on my right side, down near my hip bone. I kept telling my mom I had appendicitis, but she told me the place I was pointing to was more in the area of my ovary, plus the pains come in spasms and like I said, have been going on for many years. Now, does anyone think I'm being paranoid thinking that maybe I have an ovarian cyst or cancer or something? Should I get an appointment with my doctor? I've never had the pains when I was at the doctors, so I've never brought it up before. I had been thinking that maybe the pains I was/am having were when an egg was being released by my ovaries, but recently I found out that while you're on the pill you don't actually ovulate, so I'm thinking that can't be possible. And now I'm having pains on my left side as well. Very confusing. Any thoughts?

i would definitely mention it. If you don't have a regular appointment scheduled soon, call the office and ask the doctor or triage nurse to give you a call back.

It may be nothing, but it is better to be safe than sorry.

Good luck.

I have the same problem, you should also check out intestinal disorders like Crohn's disease. it runs in my family and it's hallmark sign is pain in the right side like that. Not to worry you, that is very rare and it doesn't kill you or anything, but just to suggest some other things it could be besides your reproductive organs :)
