S37.4: Injury of ovary
You have injured your ovary.
The ovaries are part of the female genitals. There are two ovaries, one on each side. The ovaries sit low down in the abdomen. Egg cells mature in the ovaries. The egg cells can later develop into a child. The ovaries also produce various messenger substances.
Injuring an organ in the abdomen or pelvis can result in pain in that area.
