Hi all, I just wanted to say something about having pain where your
ovaries used to be after hysterectomy. I had a hysterectomy almost two
years ago. I always had extreme problems having cysts form on my right
ovary due to endometriosis. They would be the size of a grapefruit by
the time they did surgery. Anyway, ever since my TAH, I have still had
pain where my right ovary (supposedly) used to be. When my TAH was
performed I had extensive adhesions covering everything. My
gynecologist thinks I have ovarian remnant syndrome, so does Dr. Redan.
This is where they left part of your ovary in. My gynecologist can feel
a mass exactly where my ovary was, or may be still there. They are not
for sure, but isn't that weird? My gyncologist says that when my other
surgeon performed the TAH, maybe there were so many adhesions that he
couldn't see all of my ovary and didn't get it all. He also thinks the
endo has returned and I know the adhesions have returned. I am having
surgery on Tuesday 10/17/00. Please wish me luck, I am getting very
nervous. I don't want to go through another pointless surgery. The
doctor seems like a good surgeon and Dr. Redan agrees with his
opinion....but I am still scared. Thank you all for listening and your
very much appreciated support.
