 [ Symptoms ] why do my ovaries hurt  i am not on my period but it feels like my ovaries are swelled up [ Disease ] i really can not address your question since i do not know anything about you your medical history or if it is indeed your ovaries that are causing your symptoms women can have ovulatory pain but without knowing your cycle i can not really make that blind assumption i would suggest that you call your medical provider    someone who does know your history and someone who has the capabilities of examining you first hand it could be that your period is about to start soon cramps can occur before the period actually starts if you do not think it is the right time for your period to be starting soon and it does not go away after a few days it could be something more serious ovarian cancer is one of the possiblities so you may need to get it checked
