Pregnancy is a special period in a woman's life, in which various changes take place in the body. Pain in the ovaries during pregnancy can be dangerous, since this pain can hide diseases that are a threat to the life not only of the child, but also of the mother. But it is possible, if pre-pregnancy has already begun to develop these or other diseases. Also, pain during pregnancy can cause ligaments that support the uterus and from the abdomen are located on both sides. If a woman had no problems with the ovaries before conception, then the trailing pain is a pain in the tissues that stretch as the fetus develops and the uterus grows.
What are the pains in the ovaries during pregnancy?
Pain in the ovaries during pregnancy can be associated with a violation of the integrity of the cyst or with a "twisting" of the cyst leg. In this case, the liquid penetrates into the abdominal cavity and provokes irritation of the tissues. There is nausea and vomiting, and these abnormalities can also cause peritonitis - an inflammation of the peritoneum. In the treatment of peritonitis, surgical intervention is necessary. A similar situation is also observed in malignant and benign ovarian tumors. A tumor that reaches a large size squeezes the nerve endings and other neighboring organs, which gives the pregnant woman a strong pain. In this case, blood supply is disrupted and tissue necrosis occurs.
During pregnancy, adnexitis - an inflammatory process can begin in the appendages of the ovaries. This process is accompanied by pain in the ovaries. This pain predominates in the lower abdomen, sometimes gives to the spine, to its lumbosacral section. Such pain can cause insomnia, irritability, which affects not only the future mother, but also the baby. But the most dangerous thing is that the inflammatory process during pregnancy can cause infertility, as there is a disruption of normal functions and ovulation (exit from the ovary of the egg) in the ovaries. In this case, ovulation can be delayed or not at all, which can lead to miscarriage at the initial stage of pregnancy.
During pregnancy, abdominal pain can occur with apoplexy of the ovary. This is a sudden rupture of the ovary, in which the blood enters the abdominal cavity. Two signs are accompanied by this disease - severe pain and bleeding. With apoplexy, the vascular tone falls, heart weakness begins, the pulse becomes faster, cold sweat appears. Urgent hospitalization is necessary. This disease carries a great threat to the child and to the mother.
Pain during pregnancy in the ovaries in women in an interesting situation, can be associated with psychogenic factors. It is necessary in this case, the examination of a psychotherapist, to identify the cause. This may be associated with depression, hysteria, hypochondria.
