Ovarian torsion refers to a condition in which the ovary of a woman has rotated to a degree that it can occlude the vein or ovary artery. The medical condition is found most commonly in younger females who are in their reproductive years.
In simpler words, ovary torsion occurs when an ovary cysts twist to a certain degree. Women suffering from ovary torsion experience a sudden onset of lower abdomen pain as well as nausea and vomiting. The pain may also radiate to the lower back, thighs and side. Constipation, mild fever, diarrhea and tachycardia may also occur along with the pain.
There are a number of conditions which can result in ovarian torsion. These could range from abnormal changes in normal ovaries or any disease that harms the ovary or tube. When changes or spasms occur in the blood vessels of the normal ovaries, ovary torsion may occur. Ovary cysts, trauma in either of the tubes or the ovaries may result in ovary torsion. Sometimes unusualness in the size and shape of the ovary may also result in rotation. Continue reading ‘About Ovarian Torsion’ »
