Ovarian torsion is when an ovary twists back and forth, causing intense pain in the pelvic area that comes and goes. Torsion of an ovary can cut off the blood flow to the ovary, essentially killing the ovary. Did your doctor suspect this is what happened? Doctors usually recommend removal, a procedure called an oophorectomy. The fallopian tube(s) might also be removed as well. Your doctor can advise you further.
