Ovarian cysts

[purplemissyd]

This is a very unusual case I think... I had a full hysterectomy 3 years ago due to endometreosis and ovarian cysts.  2 days ago I was admitted into hospital with suspected kidney stones.  After many tests they discovered cysts where my ovaries once were.  At first they thought I still had my ovaries but then realised they were seeing cysts.  The one on my left side appartently has a blood flow and from what I can tell that is not usual.  Should I be very worried? And what does it mean?
Cheers

Did you have your ovaries removed also.  As I understood things, a hysterectomy was the removal of the uterus.  I have read that there is a thing called ovarian remnant syndrome.  It is where you have your ovaries removed and there can still be ovary cells left.  Maybe someone else on the site has more info on this condition.  As for the blood flow, from what I was told there are many types of cysts/growths that have blood flow.  I would see what your doctor recommends.

Hello there....if you were my daughter I would make sure you were referred to a gyn/oncologist as these are the people who have specialized in abnormalities in the female reproductive system....you didn't say how large the cysts are but the fact that there is blood flow to the thing means it will probably need to be removed.....if there is going to be surgery or even if there isn't....YOU HAVE ONLY ONE CHANCE TO GET IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME....see a gyn/oncologist....he/she gives the optimal outcome.  I'm not trying to scare you but you need to get this thing figured out....don't lolligag...find out what is going on and if necessary develope a plan of action.
Peace.
