Diagnosis Checklist: Questions your doctor may ask (and why!)

During a consultation, your doctor will use various techniques in their assessment of Ovary symptoms. Your doctor may ask several questions when assessing your condition. It is important to remember that your consultation is a two-way process and any extra information you can share with your doctor about your symptoms may help them with their diagnosis. Some of the questions your doctor may ask are listed below:

  • How long have you had the ovary symptoms? - to determine if acute or chronic.
  • What particular ovary symptoms do you have? - e.g irregular periods, pain around the ovaries, infertility, absence of periods.
  • Age of menarche (when first got menstrual period)?
  • Duration of the menstrual period - i.e. how many days do you bleed for?
  • Is the menstrual interval regular? - i.e. from Day 1 of menstruation to the onset of the next period. "Metrorrhagia" is menstrual bleeding that is irregular in quantity, acyclical in nature and often prolonged in nature. The condition is usually due to a pathological condition in the uterus or other internal genital organs. It's presence demands that the doctor investigate further.

Diagnosis Checklist: Associated symptoms your doctor may ask about (and why!)

Sometimes, other symptoms may be present and may help your doctor analyse your condition. The symptoms your doctor may ask about (in association with Ovary symptoms) may include:

  • Infertility? - may suggest endometriosis, elevated prolactin, polycystic ovaries or pelvic adhesions.
  • Dyspareunia (pain with intercourse)? - may suggest endometriosis, benign ovarian cyst or malignant ovarian tumor.
  • Menorrhagia (heavy periods)? - may suggest endometriosis or dysfunctional uterine bleeding.
  • Milky nipple discharge (galactorrhea)? - must consider elevated prolactin hormone levels due to pituitary tumor or various drugs. Elevated prolactin hormone may cause failure to ovulate and reduced fertility.
  • One sided pelvic pain in the middle of the menstrual cycle (i.e. Day 14)? - suggests a ruptured ovarian follicle called "mittelschmerz".
