ovary pain for a year

I'm 42 and have a history of cysts on ovaries. Partial hyst 5 years ago, usually cysts have been simple until 2 years ago. Another cyst, this time complex and solid and was removed. Thought all was good but now again, ovary pain, severe at times since Jan of 07. Actually went to hospital then and CT revealed no cysts problem, gall looked good. Oh, appendix is gone also! The pain has been getting worse and I didn't go to my Gyno last year because I'm chicken and tired of surgeries. Now for 2 months I have been nauseas like I have morning sickness. Along with ovary pain for a year has been pain before and after urinating. I have been checked for UTI, but negative. I have never had a UTI in the past so I don't think that is it. I can't decide if my problem is gynological or urological. Anyone have an opinion?

I do have an appointment for the 13th of March. I could bump it up for sooner if  tell them I think I have a cyst. Thank GOD my gyno has an ultrasound there. I get immediate results and can even "read" my own TVS, practically!
I really am tired of laproscopics and if there's "another" cyst I might have to re-think getting an oopher. I don't want to go through this every year, that's why I didn't go last year. It sucks going on vaca a week after abdominal! I also don't want to go into immediate menopause. I cannot take HRT as all 4 of my Mother's cancer were "estrogen-fed"
Oh well, thanks Angie. I will see my gyno first and probably early.

Hi , I would start with the gyno first as you have had problems before . He can then determine if you need to see the urologist  after  examining you and doing some tests . You must get this sorted out soon as its awful being in pain and you may have an infection that needs antibiotics or some other treatment . Take care Angiexx
