having same symptoms as before surgery

I had a partial hysterectomy a year ago. Two weeks ago I had to have my ovaries removed due to cysts on both. The left ovary had a complex cyst with septation and lesions. I had free fluid in my pelvic region. I am now very bloated again and have alot of pain under my left rib cage that radiates across my lower back (hurt in this area before surgery which is what brought me to the dr).. I am really worried about having the same symptoms over again and  thinking the worst, anyone out there have any advise?

It has only been 2 weeks since your surgery, maybe the surgery is related?  Have you over done things?

Please contact the doctor and tell him exactly how you feel.

Unfortunately, it is possible to develop Ovarian Cysts again even without ovaries.  During surgery microscopic ovarian cells can be left behind especially in cases of leisons, scar tissue, endo etc.  This is an extremely rare condition and I do not think that they could grow that fast, but, I am not a doctor.

Again, you just had your ovaries removed 2 weeks ago, your body is still healing....if you don't feel well...call the doctor.

Please let us know what happens when you speak to the dcotor.
