Has anyone had their left ovary attached to their bowel?
I just had surgery yesterday to have my ovaries removed. Unfortunately, they were only able to remove my right ovary which was totally attached to my side wall with a 5cm endometrioma cyst. The doctor was not able to remove all of the ovary and said that there is still some of it attached to my side wall.
She was unable to remove my left ovary because it attached to my bowel and surrounded by scar tissue. My bowel is also all attached to my side wall with scar tissue. She said that it would be too dangerous and risky to try and remove it and was unable to see if my ovary was healthy. My left ovary can not be seen by ultrasound because of the scar tissue and bowel.
Does anyone know if there is any other test the doctor can do that is better than an ultrasound to see if the left ovary is heathly and to make sure there are no cyst growing on it. Unfortuantely, my doctor couldn't even get to it yesterday to see if it was ok because it's totally surrounded by scar tissue and fused to the bowel and side wall.
I'm nervous that my left ovary is not healthy and no one can do anything to check it out and confirm that it is ok.
Ovarian Cancer runs very high in my family and I'm scared that it will go undected with me if they can't get a view of it.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Im guessing CT or MRI scans would give an image of the ovaries, check for cysts etc. Blood tests can keep an eye on tumour markers, but I dont think they are 100% accurate.
Good luck to both of you, sounds like you both need it.

Im having the same thing happen too me..took a lot of questions as too why this is happening and still feel so disappointed that no one can give me definite answers to my questions. They completely took my right ovary out 2 years after having a partial hysterectomy. i have a 6.4 cm cyst on my left ovary that they are trying too shrink before thinking about surgery because if i do go ahead with the surgery i will lose part of my bowel and may cause damage too my bladder as the ovary sits partially on it too. Basically my insides and a total mess with no ending as of yet in sight. I hope you are getting better answers too your questions then i am right now. Goodluck.
