Ovarian Torsion
Sudden, intense pain on one side of the female pelvis may be a sign of ovarian torsion. This occurs when the ovary, and sometimes, the fallopian tube, twists on the surrounding tissues, restricting blood supply to the ovary. Prompt surgery is necessary to address ovarian torsion.
This condition usually affects women in their reproductive years, but girls may develop ovarian torsion as well. In addition to pain, symptoms may include nausea, vomiting and cramping.9‘Ovarian Torsion.’ Yale Medicine, Yale Medicine, 11 Nov. 2019, www.yalemedicine.org/conditions/ovarian-torsion
