Unfortunately, in my case, no exam ever found the ovarian cysts before they started popping and hurting like hell, even though I was followed every 6 months for another problem in the reproductive system area...

So ... really I don't think that's what it is, but if it continues, I think it would be worth it to get someone very familiar with that area of the body examine you (not pleasant to get your ovaries palpated... think of a man's testicles being compressed!! totally analogical to me) and, in doubt, get an ultrasound test done....

Good luck!!
