<human>: When I woke up this morning, as I got out of bed the sharpest stabbing pain in my lower abdominal area down to pubic bone began to occur. (I have had laparoscopy on my left ovary as a side note). The pain lasted nearly 30 minutes. I tried moving in every position, but how I moved the pain would get worse depending on my position and how much I moved. Now, it is a dull ache in my left ovary that I had surgery on.
<bot>: Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. The most probable cause for such a sharp stabbing pain in the lower abdomen down to pubic bone can be due to: Twisted ovarian cyst-there could have been a recurrence of the cyst. Or intestinal obstruction. I would advise you the following:Urgent X-ray of the abdomen in the standing position. And an urgent ultrasonography of the abdomen. IF there is torsion of the ovarian cyst you may need an urgent Surgery. If there is intestinal obstruction, one can weight for a few days of conservative treatment and surgery if conservative treatment fails.
