Pelvic pain left side?

What can cause lower left pelvic pain in females? I'm going for a pelvis ultrasound next week to check for abnormalities with my uterus and ovaries as dr thinks it could be a cyst, but if it is not, what else could cause this pain on the lower left side?

What organs are located in the lower left quadrant of a womans pelvis?

I have to add that I'm not pregnant and that I am on birth control pills.

Abdominal/pelvic pain that is similar to that of period cramping may indicate a problem in a reproductive organ (like the pain around your ovaries or uterus).

This includes conditions such as endometriosis (when tissue from the uterus is displaced to somewhere else like the pelvic wall or ovaries), uterine fibroids (thick bands of muscular and fibrous tissue in the uterus), ovarian cysts, ovarian cancer (rare), or pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) infection of the reproductive organs, usually from a sexually transmitted disease.

If you have pain in your ovary area, you might have an ovarian cyst. I have experienced that same type of pain whenever I have had an ovarian cyst. I was also diagnosed with endometriosis last year which caused me severe pelvic pain and intense and painful period cramping.

Based on your symptoms and what you wrote, I would recommend that you should see your doctor/gynaecologist, just to rule out any serious causes.

Good luck :)

Sounds very common in that area it could be fibroids also.The ultra sound should show up what is causing the problem.
