Girlfriend is afraid to have sex because of random and uncontrollable ovarian pain.

Maybe. I saw 4 specialists between the ages of 14-20 and not one of them ever did a damn thing. I still have not found the cause of reproductive health/issues that will sporadically appear out of nowhere, make my life miserable, then depart. Its much better now (i'm 33) but it isn't great and I have completely stopped going to doctors because they just ignore me or order the same tests that have already been done. I only go in for my yearly exam now and I don't even speak to the doctor. When I was in my teens and early 20s, it was honestly a quality of life issue. I missed 3 days out of every month, at least, and I turned to some not-healthy, not-quite-legal methods of dealing with that because I couldn't miss college or work every single month. It sometimes happened twice a month and I would get terrible cramps in my back and what felt like menstrual crampss at any random time. I never had a diagnosis. The only treatment was birth control pills of course. That is the miracle cure for women, after all, even when it doesn't work.
