please get evaluated by a gynecologist. It could be as simple as drying out of the vaginal lining (treated with estrogen cream), or it could be a muscle spasm issue (treated with physical therapy), or something else. YOur gynecologist should be able to get you on the right track.

You should consult your ob/gyn about your surgical options at this point as to why your ovary is enlarged. This may be the only method to alleviate the pain, but a 2nd opinion also is always a good idea before surgery. Be sure to ask about minimally invase procedures, such as laser to ensure your doc is up to date on the best technique. Hope you are pain free soon!
