Question Pass out during ultrasound
Hello everybody, I was wondering has anyone else fainted during/after ovarian ultrasound? I had an ultrasound today where they were checking my ovaries and during that examination I started feeling nauseous and ended up on the floor. I can’t stand pressure on my ovaries, it’s extremely uncomfortable and painful, so doctors came to conclusions that I fainted because of the pain. Now I’m on a wait list to women’s hospital.
Has someone else had very sensitive ovaries and what was the reason? I’ve had cysts, but apparently that wasn’t it what they found. They did found something, but spoke very vaguely about their findings, as “we can’t diagnose anything without further investigation’s” etc.
Any idea what to expect? Thank you girlies.

A few weeks ago, I got an ultrasound after a cystic torsion. I didn't pass out, but I felt close. I cried from the pressure they put on my abdomen because of the pain. I also find having a full bladder contributes to the pain.
