According to physician Dr. Karen Rosewater, your symptoms could have any number of causes, among them ovarian cysts or inflammation of the reproductive organs due to infection. It's unlikely, but the two symptoms you have may even be unrelated. The fact is: it's impossible to accurately pinpoint the cause without being thoroughly examined by a medical doctor.

By now, I hope that you have seen a health care provider, but if you haven't, that is what I recommend. Even if the pain has now subsided, I urge you to see your primary care physician or gynecologist right away.

Take care.
