A cyst or cancer
The reason of swelling on the private part of your small son could either be testicular torsion or diaper rash.
I am afraid it is unlikely. Ovary swelling is normal as cells in the sac the egg came from grow to provide hormones to maintain a pregnancy but if there is no embryo in the sac you have what is called a blighted ovum which cannot develop into a baby.

Yes it is. That is called ovarian torsion and can become a medical emergency. Typically, cysts are what cause this. The weight of a large ovarian cyst could cause an ovary to twist. If it twists a lot, the blood supply to the ovary could become compromised, and the ovary may start to die through the process known as gangrene. Then blood poisoning could result.
First, it would depend on why you only have one ovary-- most females have two. But sometimes an ovary is removed because of a disease like cancer, although it's more common to remove both ovaries when cancer is diagnosed. But if for some reason you have one ovary, you would still have your period (although some sources say women with only one ovary go through menopause earlier). And you could still become pregnant (if you wanted to). In fact, unless you have other conditions (like cysts), having only one ovary should not be a big problem in your life.
when you get the epidural could you get swelling?
When the ovary size increases this could spell danger. This is might be a tumor or a cyst which should be properly diagnosed.
You could take an Ibuprofen or Advil to take down the swelling. Otherwise, you could just put an icepack or a heatpack on the area. :)
Ovary 2nd Answer: No, not the ovary . . . the baby is in the womb, also called the uterus. (YOU-tuhr-uss) The ovary contains human eggs, each one of which could be fertilized and turn into a baby, but the eggs are not babys.
Swelling should always be treated with COLD compress, not hot. But if the swelling persists or returns, see a doctor to find out what is causing it.
Take - it - to - a - VET ! Unless you're ABSOLUTELY sureyou can successfully treat it yourself ! The reason for the swelling could be a number of possibilities, and it may need draining.
Swelling of the optic disc could be optic edema. This is what happens when the disc becomes inflamed. It could be from intracranial pressure as well.
