Ovary removed/grew back

Ovary removed/grew back

at age 27, my uterus was removed.  At age 36 my rt ovary was removed.  I had hip and leg pain (rt side) Dr. did MRI, said that I had a cyst on my rt ovary.  Surprise - I don't have a rt ovary.  Was sent for sono.  I have a rt ovary.  Apparently the tissue regenerated and has attached itself to my bowel.  This has been an education. The Dr. wants to do another sono in 6 weeks.  Is this normal - does it pose issues?

Welcome!  Sounds like you have Ovarian Remnant Syndrome.  There are many woman who have had this happen.  Rare, but there!!  Just remember that 99% of ovarian cysts are Benign.  You are in my thoughts and prayers.  Godspeed

Hey Kerry,
I can not imagine the surprise you must have felt when the doctor came in and told you that you have a cyst on your right ovary!!  What an even bigger surprise that you ACTUALY do have a right ovary.  I had my last ovary out 3 weeks ago and have to see the doctor tomorrow because I feel just like I did befor the surgery (lower back pain, pain in the lower stomach, hip pain, etc).  Did you feel like this?  It is driving me CRAZY!!.  Sorry I do not have any information for you.  Kasie

Thank you.  Just don't know much about this.  Doctor's are not much help.  Every time they keep an eye on something, I wind up having surgery.  Between lumpy breasts, regrowth of ovaries, and cysts I just want to give up.  I am always healthy until I hit the door of the Dr.

Hey fungirl,
I was having hip pain and a feeling of constriction in my thigh vein.  Funny thing is that when I had the internal sonogram, they were pushing on my lower extremities quite a bit - After that, the pressure stopped and the hip pain.  The only thing I could contribute it to was that they had shifted something.  I had been dealing with it for 8 months and my leg would give out from underneath me.  That was why I had the MRI.  Happy Mother's Day to everyone!
