severe right ovary pain/high-risk HPV
hello, im 17 years old, I have many female health problems. First thing is, i have HPV and high-risk HPV at that. about a month ago my gyno told me i have pre-cancerous cells on my cervix, and i very high chance of getting cervical cancer, i also have severe pains in my right ovary that has been going on for about 9 months now. I got a ultrasound to see if i had cysts, but they couldn't find anything, the pain just seems to be getting worse, and my family history is filled with endometriosis, cervical cancer, cysts, and ovarian cancer. woul you know anything that would be the cause of my severe pain, because my doctor is clueless. please respond a.s.a.p., I fear something serious is wrong, thank you.
I am glad they are doing something about it. Hopefully they don't do a full hysterectomy, maybe just take out the messed up ovary. I would like them to do that for me. I am sympathetic towards the pain medication problem. I am desprately trying to get off of them, but I can't stand the pain. I don't think I really have a choice though, my dr. is tapering me off. I'm not looking forward to it.
I was asking where you lived because I live in So. Cal and was thinking that if you did too we could look into doctors.
Thats interesting about the Depo-prevara. I had taken that a long time ago. I know its a drug that a lot of people have problems with. I don't have HPV, but when I was young I did have some other issues that went undetected for over a year. My Drs. don't seem to think that is related. I have not had a cone biopsy. I haven't had an abnormal pap so maybe thats why.
I hope they find out what is wrong with you. You have helped me out as well. It is impossible to explain the pain and situation to someone who hasn't had it. And nobody understands, they think it's not that bad - or in my head. Eventually even the doctors start to not believe me because they can't figure it out, or help the pain. They think I'm a drug addict trying to get my fix, which is total bs. The only reason I'm physically dependent on the drugs is because they gave them to me and didn't really educate me about the different medications. I'm switching Ins on April 1st so I'll get a new Dr. We'll see. I too am sick and tired of this. I want to have a baby so badly and it doesn't seem like it is ever going to happen.
We need to keep in touch. Give me updates - and I'll do the same. Seriously thank you.

well i went to go see my gyno today, and he switched meds, gave me a pelvic exam, and determined my right ovary was doubled in size in the past 2 weeks, so i'm scheduled for surgery early next month, the earliest i could get in. a cone biopsy, LEEP procedure, and a lacroscopy through my belly button. I pray to God that they can find something, because im just so exhausted from seeing him every week, and nothing is being done. my tolerance is also starting to build on the medicine, but i have a past of abusing prescription pain killers so my tolerance has built that way. I have the exact same symptoms, 75% of the day it just feels like someone is squezing my ovary extremely hard and doesn't want to let go, then the other 25% of the time, it's just a sharp stabing pain, it doesn't go down through my thigh, it shoots straight up and down my back, which affects me at work, Im a server and i hav to carry 50lb, trays probably 20 times a day and it hurts extremely bad. I live in Lancaster, ohio, and the closest gynecological oncologist is in colombus, and i don't feel like driving over an hour away. after i have the surgery, maybe i'll have some answers and i am hoping for a partial hysterectomy, even though im so young im tired of this pain. i think a part of the problem with my ovaries is the depo-prevera shot, I didn't have problems until about 6 months after i started taking it. Another possible problem is that i had the gardasil when i was 16 and I think I already had HPV, so it might have had a reverse affect, and kicked my HPV into overdrive. My doctor seems to think so also. I'm just ready to get it all over with, it's starting to wear thin on my nerves and is affecting my personal relationship. well, i will still keep you posted on everything, and once again thank you for the help, nobody i know really knows what i am going through. Thanx!!
I too have seen a ton of doctors to figure out what is wrong with me. I had never heard of endo before I started having this pain. A friend mentioned that she knew someone who had endo and she was the one that suggest I looked into it. As soon as I looked it up and read the symptoms I knew I had endo. Endo can never be ruled out - some people have multiple laparoscopys before it is found.
As far as my symptoms before I was diagnosed...My pain has been always consistently on my right side where my ovary is. Of course I can't see my ovary, but when I've had pelvic exams, my doctor will press on my ovary and it will trigger the pain. The pain has progresively gotten worse. In the morning, it was pretty much non-existant then it started to kick in in the afternoon, then by the time I got home it would usually hurt pretty bad. Eventually I got to the point, where I am now, that It hurts all the time. Rarely do I wake up without pain.
The pain changes as well. Usually it is a throbbing/squeezing type of pain, and it radiates down to my right thigh. Sometimes it is more of a stabbing kind of pain or really sharp. Usually the more severe pain occurs after activity/exercise, sex, before and during my period, when I get stressed out, and then sometimes it just shows up. It is hard to describe because it is so unpredictable.
I've had 4 ultrasounds, and after all of them I've been told that I'm normal. However, later on, I found out that I did have cysts on my ovaries. I wasn't told that because every woman gets cysts on a regular basis, they are part of ovulation. I don't believe that my cysts are normal. I haven't ovulated in forever because I was on birth control. So there is no real need for my cysts. I am currently changing insurance and doctors so I can get yet another opinion.
Sorry for the long winded answer. Stay away from pain meds if possible, they've caused me more problems than it's worth. I became tolerant to the meds so I have gotten to really high doses. I've already been to detox once.
Where do you live? Perhaps there is a specialist in your area.

Thank you for the help, I was thinking it might be endo, because as i said in my post, i have a strong family history of endo, and other serious female problems. as for the second opinion, i have been to 2 other gynos and they can't figure out the problem, can you believe that? I just really want to know what's wrong, i know it's not in my head like a doctor has said, I know when there's something wrong with me, as I'm sure you do. I wish that I had some pain killers, but they won't give me anything stronger than iburprofen 600mg., because I'm 17, i think it's a crock of **** if you ask me. If you could tell me what your symptoms where before you were diagnosed with endo, it would surely be helpful, because I have a appt. with my doctor this thursday and i could talk to him about this. Thank you again for your support, and I will keep you posted.
Samantha...Hello sorry to hear about your problems and pain issues. I am in a very similar situation. My right ovary has been hurting me for over 2 years. I've been diagnosed with endo, but I've had the surgery and Lupron treatment and nothing has helped. I live on pain killers. I would bet that endo is your problem as well, it is a sneaky disease, different for everyone. The only thing that has remotely helped me is eating gluten free.
Get a second opinion for sure. Doctors aren't all created equal. A laparoscopy would hopefully diagnose endo. Also, maybe look into finding a physical therapist who does pelvic floor work. I wish I had better answers for you. Hopefully someone will have some insight.
Good luck, and please keep me posted
