Ovarian pain, menstruation or pregnancy?

Some women may confuse early pregnancy symptoms with menstrual symptoms. It is important to keep in mind that when pregnancy occurs menstruation does not occur and therefore the absence of menstrual bleeding may be indicative of pregnancy.

In any case, if pregnancy is suspected, it is recommended to perform a pregnancy test to determine if the pain or discomfort is caused by pregnancy or if it is a menstrual symptom.
