worried

I have a question,ok i had a hysterectomy 4 weeks ago but still have both ovaries now aprox.2 months before my hysterectomy i had a vaginal/abdominal ultrasound and the doctor said my ovaries looked fine,but i previously have had cyst on both ovaries.Since my hysterectomy i have had pain in my right ovary especially when i urinate,and it feels like if i relax my bladder/pelvic that i get pains in my ovary.Can i still get ovarian cyst now that i dont have a period?(stupid question)
Does this sound like a cyst? the pain sometimes radiates around my lower back.I told the doctor about it and he just said oh your ovaries are fine!I had hurt in my ovary before the surgery but not this bad.One last question when i had cyst before the doctors would give me birth control pills but what could they give me now since i dont have a period any longer? Im really not in the mood for another surgey!!

Yes you can get ovarian cyst after you have your uterus removed.I had my uterus and cervix removed 4.5 years ago when my daughter was 4 months old and now i have a solid cyst/tumor on both ovaries and I am having them removed along with the ovaries in january and i am only 32.and it has all kinds of symptoms to go with it. good luck

It first started with like spasm pains and sharp shooting pains like where my ovaries are and then i started getting nausiated all the time,and then i started feeling alot of pressure right at the bottom of my stomach and pains going down into my legs, sometimes my legs hurt so bad i cant walk on them ,,sometimes my sides hurt, my bowels go back and forth from constipation to diareah,and i urinate a lot, and my lower back hurts ..Honey anything that can hurt and has feeling -hurts..Does any of your symptoms  match those..

I have had bouts of diarhea wich last about 2 to 3 days i have not had any problems with constipation,i do have heart burn but i do not have indegestion or do i pass alot of gas at least not yet any way.With the diarrhea thing when it happens it will usually occur about one hour after i have got out of bed that morning and i feel gas moving around in my stomach then afterwards im fine for the day,then same thing for like i said 2 or 3 days.Now the pain in my ovary well its uncomfortable to urinate,but i did not hurt in my ovary area while urinating before my surgery,and then sometimes i will just be sitting on my couch or something and feel like a stabbing/pinching pain.The pain that goes around my lower back is like a back labor pain(ARRGH!!)Also in July of this year i had a seizure for no apparent reason i asked the doctors to check my hormone levels because i was told that could possibly trigger a seizure and they acted like i was crazy,well i have lost aprox.16 pounds but that is supposedly a side effect of the seizure medicine im on.But i hurt before the surgery but not like this,i catch myself hugging a heating pad!! I still have a good appetite and i havent had no times of throwing up.Sometimes i guess i could explain the pain in my ovary like a muscle spasm during and after its relaxed.Thank You For Taking Your Time To Talk With Me.
