I am a 54-year-old menopausal woman experiencing intermittent pain in my right ovary for a day and a half, similar to pain I had in my left ovary last week. I have a history of ovarian cysts as a teen, but no major issues were found in my last ultrasound over 15 years ago. I have not taken any pain medication and have no immediate family history of uterine, ovarian, or bladder cancer. My last pelvic exam was about a year and three months ago, and I have not had any surgeries involving my female organs. I also have asthma and a family history of breast cancer. What could be causing this pain and what should I do?
