I am 22f and had a pelvic ultrasound today, I expected to have a cyst based on my pain but they only found “multiple small follicles in both ovaries.” Which i think is normal from my research?

I have been experiencing extreme lower abdominal bloat, dull aching pelvic pain along with sharp stabbing pains in both ovaries but mostly my left side. I am not on my period and this pain has been lasting consistently for over a week now. The stabbing pain is random and also triggered by flexing my core, running/walking, and other movements. It is painful to press the area, especially the left side.

I have experienced this sensation before but never this intensity or for this amount of time.

I expected it to be an ovarian cyst based on my pain but they found none.

I read the follicles can be associated with PCOS, but it doesn’t sound like my pain matches up.

Thank you very much in advance!!
